National Human Rights Commission Chairman Prof Mizanur Rahman yesterday
urged the government to get the probe into the disappearance of BNP
leader Ilias Ali done in the shortest possible time and make the
findings public.
It is the government s duty to ensure security of every citizen. The government should unearth the facts if any of its citizens disappears, he mentioned.
He was talking to newsmen after inaugurating an advocacy meeting on combating violence against women at Brac Centre Inn in the capital s Mohakhali area.
Citing the prime minister s instructions to investigate the disappearance of Ilias, the NHRC chairman said the law enforcement agencies should expedite the investigation.
Former lawmaker Ilias Ali, an organising secretary of BNP and president of its Sylhet district unit, along with his driver went missing on Tuesday night.
Asked for his comment on Detective Branch s failure in probing the murder of journalist couple Sagar and Runi, Mizanur said the authorities concerned should take action against the investigators as they have
confessed their failure to the court. “They should not be assigned to probe any other cases.”
Regarding the NHRC s role in probing human rights violations, he said the commission itself probed a number of such incidents and found some law enforcers were involved in one or two cases.
We have submitted the probe findings and recommendations to the home ministry, he maintained.
Sagar Sarowar, news editor at private TV station Maasranga, and his wife Meherun Runi, a senior reporter at another TV channel ATN Bangla, were killed at their Rajabazar residence in the capital on February 10.
The High Court on Wednesday ordered to hand over the murder case to Rapid Action Battalion as the DB failed to identify the killer(s).
