BNP Standing Committee Member Salahuddin Ahmed on Monday said his party would stand by the families of victims of enforced disappearance in their fight for justice.
 
He said this while addressing a photo exhibition that depicts the sufferings of the families of the victims who were forcibly disappeared in the city.
 
Mayer Dak, an organization of the relatives of the victims of enforced disappearance, arranged the exhibition titled "Goom, Jan O Jaban" at the Nalini Kanta Bhattasali Gallery of the National Museum in Shahbagh in the afternoon.
 
"Our fight against the incidents of enforced disappearances will continue. If there is an incident of disappearance, an extrajudicial or illegal detention incident in Bangladesh in the future....We will stand by them (the victims' families). We are promising it," said Salahuddin.
 
The BNP leader demanded the immediate arrest of those who were responsible for the incidents of forced disappearances and those who killed the people in order to bring them to justice.
 
Noting that he himself was a victim of enforced disappearance, Salahuddin said, "We must work to end the culture of enforced disappearance from our country forever. Those of you who still haven't got your relatives back.... You are a living corpse."
 
The relatives with photos of the victims in their hands were present at the function.
 
Chief coordinator of Ganosamhati Andolon Zonayed Saki and photographer Moshfiqur Rahman also spoke at the function.
