With three of the secret detention centres finally unveiled, the families of the forcibly disappeared are faced with a difficult reality -- the loved ones they had been waiting for years are not there.
Enforced disappearances have long been a dark stain on Bangladesh's history, with Aynaghar standing as one of the most harrowing symbols of this systemic abuse.
When images of Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus inspecting three secret detention centres emerged in the media yesterday, it did not take long for survivors to recognise the places where they had been held captive.
"All those involved in killings during the July-August mass uprising and enforced disappearances will be punished," Shafiqul said

Chief Adviser and his team visited 3 secret detention centres today
Yunus is accompanied by two internal media outlets, foreign media outlets and a select group of victims, CA press wing told The Daily Star.
Evidence of “Aynaghar” was destroyed even after August 5, 2024, to hide the complicity of the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), said the commission investigating enforced disappearances in its report to Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus.
