Prosecution to visit every district probing enforced disappearances, killings; arrests on proof

The prosecution team will travel district by district to investigate cases of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings. Public hearings will be held in every district across the country, and individuals will be arrested on the spot if credible evidence emerges against them.

The decision was announced late Thursday (November 12) by the prosecution team. Investigators stated that they will visit each district to collect complaints directly from families of victims of enforced disappearances. Information and evidence will be gathered from the public through open hearings in every district.

Scope and strategy of investigation

Under this initiative, investigation activities will be carried out in all 64 districts of the country. During the public hearings, statements will be recorded from family members of victims, eyewitnesses, and local public representatives. Legal action will be taken after proper verification of the collected complaints and evidence.

A senior official of the investigation team said, "We are not taking any complaint lightly. We will travel to every district and hear the incidents directly from the people. If we find evidence, arrests will be made immediately without delay."

Legal process and next steps

The prosecution team has stated that cases with sufficient evidence will be expedited for resolution in court. Efforts will be made to ensure maximum punishment under existing laws for those involved in enforced disappearance cases.

As part of the investigation process, the prosecution team has already completed preliminary surveys in several districts. Public hearings and investigation activities in the remaining districts will be conducted over the coming weeks, according to sources.

Reaction from human rights organizations

Human rights activists have welcomed the prosecution team's initiative. They noted that a culture of impunity has persisted for years in enforced disappearance cases. Conducting district-level investigations could lead to the resolution of many long-pending cases and provide justice to affected families.

However, some analysts have stressed the importance of ensuring that the investigation remains free from political influence and is conducted impartially. The prosecution team has assured that the investigation will be carried out with complete transparency and neutrality, and no pressure will be tolerated.
