The Chief Prosecutor of Bangladesh has announced a new legal stance regarding individuals held in custody for more than 24 hours without formal processing. According to official statements, such prolonged detentions will now be classified as cases of disappearance. Authorities intend to conduct a thorough review of all reported incidents of this nature. This evaluation process will determine the appropriate legal pathway for each case, specifically deciding whether they should be addressed by the tribunal or handled through alternative judicial procedures. This initiative reflects a broader effort to address concerns surrounding custodial practices and ensure legal accountability for those missing or held without due process.
