The commission said that claims such as "no one has ever disappeared in Bangladesh" were attempts by the fallen fascist rulers to create a culture of denial, according to a post by the CA Press Wing this evening (8 October).

"Even today, they allegedly continue to evade responsibility by spreading false propaganda and distorting the truth," the post reads.
The documentary presents details on who carried out the disappearances, how they were executed, where the victims were kept, what happened to them, and who was involved in these crimes. It exposes secret detention centres, recovers destroyed or concealed evidence, and traces the full cycle of the offences.
According to the commission, the findings documented in the film constitute indisputable evidence that can be used in court proceedings and serve as a chilling record of the heinous crimes of the era.
The documentary was produced by the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances, in collaboration with the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.
