ah, i tell you, ah, what our sports all in, ah, scoring did we say they were about never giving up sports life every weekend on d. w with. 2 ah, this phone call, catch you something you were never supposed to hear. it started with this woman trying to find out where her husband was, but it revealed a lot more. ah,

ah, the man being killed is akram hog. earlier that day, he had been taken by rod a special unit of the bangladesh police long accused of kidnappings, torture and murder. but this was the 1st time their violence was recorded on tape or d, w, and metro news looked into the case with an on the ground investigations. i told them to lock the door, they're trying to gather the bows. accounts of the victims every time they'll like putting the gun on my head. men again say that if we have any last wish said you're about to die. and for the 1st time, the testimony of 2 rab insiders shot i don't know, do usually the trigger is pulled from a short distance is good at the heart. read is definitely it. it's what they claim that the crime exposed by this phone call is part of a wide spread system with complicity from the highest level. we though there were

one of the prime minister, it is very unlikely that the whole minister will give an order, like the ministry of home affairs denies these allegations. so what is rob, and why is no one stopping it? ah, we traveled all the way to bangladesh, to investigate the accusations against rob. this special force made up of police and military personnel was created in the aftermath of the september 11th attacks. and during the us led war on terror. at the time, bangladesh was suffering from a search in terrorism, ah, would advise some u. s. government and also the british goblin. the creed, lab that production batavia and provided them trade been opened to day rab

has more than 13000 members because of them days, no more territory went back about this, but it's been accused of human rights violations from the start. but minimal could you dish most but think that they have this mindset that it takes a lot of time to prosecute solid by a drug gum live did cough foot with the puckett, and sometimes people post bail and return to criminal activity. will be about oprah . 48, that's why they ignore the law. i did kill people hooked like i'm double did the phone book at the boy. we're here to shed light on these crimes. our 1st lead is hawks murder. and the 1st person we want to talk to is his wife. ah, but we don't want to be noticed. we know she's being launched. so we make our way

to her house, under the cloak of darkness. ah, ah. the one on the deck barrel. we only had a room back then the 4 of us used to sleep in the one bed. we didn't even have enough space to approve whatever the de godzilla. ah, maybe counted masonic figure out his daughters a lot. he was very fond of them. no matter where he was, no matter how far away if you heard that his daughters went any sort of trouble, he would leave his meetings and come back home. do your dog only don't laugh though . ah,

her husband was killed in 2018, but their modest house is still filled with grief for his absence. ne, oscar gossip is painful of my father wants us to do well, and that is how we are trying to for his leg annually packed the debt honey. the day he was killed, a man from military intelligence kept calling him and asking to meet to discuss a land deal. his wife says initially he resisted, it was ramadan and it was late. i know another, but we just had them because he was not involved in anything and they were not going to cause any trouble if he met validated at the e t law listener told me i will return god willing you both sleep. i'm coming asked to st. woodson mm ah,

that fateful evening hawk drove down this road to meet the man who was loring him into a trap. we secretly filmed the lobby of this hotel where the meeting took place. soon after the meeting, hock is handed over to the execution squad. that's when his wife reached him for the last time. ah, let them know and we don't know if he somehow managed to take her call or had went through automatically. but the call connected, his wife recorded what happened next? hello. hello. hello. i was, i was on the bottom of the thing, i'll okay. yeah. well, it wasn't again, your view is to ranked evidence of how an operation is staged conroy

bonnet is, is essentially stage to the performance of source disparate. this is one of 2 whistleblowers who helped us expose rob's crimes. we spent days interviewing them, probing into their memories, cross checking their confessions. but we can't reveal much. we questioned them separately against a bright light to conceal their face and re enacted their answers to hide their voice. all of this, to protect them from robber. they would go any external to punish me. it would be released. she'll kill me. largely that's why i'm hiding my face while i'm talking to you. i got her. well, that's because they're the 1st ever to have served in rob and speak out. i did day for been a steady be. she had keeping dog joe investigations

that a mod at all. the things that i've seen during my time include shootouts with criminals, shoot out what i said, feeling killings and bride taking. that is what we couldn't verify each detail of their accounts because the secret operations are seemingly ordered verbally to avoid a paper trial, but their testimonies and our research helped us piece together. what likely happened during the operation that to cox life and identify who bore responsibility for it. his murder was not an anomaly, but a stark illustration of the systematic human rights abuses committed by rabb, a macabre performance repeated hundreds of times. now the opening act centers around monitoring the victim or rather the target we don't consider the person as

a person rather at target into demos. we kind of forget that the person we're targeting, she victim has a life that addicted zebo, not our family. it went back again to what is it a body but, and a place in society. she taken from the oil from way everybody boonies a volatility. we asked our source to draw an example of how an extra judicial killing is carried out. consider it as of woods. and this is the water body. first, vin e. do lanta and stop over here the booted. very good here and here we stop on kind of movements. ah, color leslie, you civilian fans with tinted windows? each of rob's operations is unique, but they share props and procedures that also take center stage in hawks last phone

call for going to put because the person who was talking to him before opening file was probably trying to keep him distracted. doesn't get a conversation. deluxe him with no shuttle to soft cost. so towels are typically used to avoid leaving any mark on the body of good. ok sha. that'll do. usually the trigger is called from a distance of one or 2 feet general or your stiff margin so that the muzzle flash doesn't attach the targets. clothing or scale at all. um, right. for philip way. oh mm hm. ah. after the target has been shot and while he's bleeding to death, the 2nd act begins the cover up of the murder as a shoot out. ah, demo we,

for example, a weapon is placed in the individuals and do you the o. an entity cartridges are scattered around the bellow. oh yeah, we identified 2 voices in the recording as that of men who served at rabb at the time of the murder. their involvement directly implicates robin the case. judy eda, if they want to make it look like a drug related case if they definitely plant drugs. okay. either in his pocket or inside the bag he is. carry go begging mother medic, adele. oh lou fox is shrouded in mystery. according to the police report, rab got a tip off about

a drug deal. all the drug dealers were able to slip away apart from one who got killed in, issued out in april hoc but his wife reject these allegations around grogan father . julie was never involved in anything like that. he was always again struck vacaville, and the port is full of discrepancies with a recorded phone call, which it doesn't even mention from this reconstruction. it's clear that rob takes every measure to ensure that their crimes leave no implicating traces, but they do because their procedures are so systematic, they create distinct patterns that reveal rob's hand. let's go back to this drawing. a location like this is not so easy to find. it needs to be isolated, easy to patrol, camera free and inspected several times. due to the shopping, i use those signs time and again to reduce administrative hassle at

a speed on all the right hand side about about how to go to target according to the whistleblowers. these are some common execution sites. yes, i believe like this area. and these area this matches with what we found in hawks case. he was executed in one of these sites here on the marine drive of the south east coast of bangladesh. or even glory one day. i timed it with my watch during an operation. i lead it dick, at least 20 meters at least 20 minutes. 20 minutes for 20 minutes. you hear the sound of groaning that brought us then slowly it stops.

no. m. o. according to the 2 former rab commanders, most victims are not killed instantly but left to bleed to death. we managed to get hold of hawks post morton report. it shows the same pattern, bullet wounds in the upper body. death due to hemorrhage. and as the final act draws to a close, rewards await the performers bully nickel. these are there are points allocated for each operation mustache. it ordered at the end of the month of every battalions, points are tallied, and the one with the most points it is declared, the winner that a bottle. our other whistleblower confirmed the existence of these grim competitions. they both told us that to get ahead of other teams. rab officers tried to score as many points as possible towards the end of the month. after

trawling through the data of reported shoot outs compiled by activists, a trend emerges almost half of the killings occurred in the last 3rd of a month. this data relies on media reports and might be under reporting the phone call, our sources, and the data paint oblique portrayal of wraps crimes. which begs the question, why isn't anyone putting a stop to it? not just the current bangladesh government, but all bangladesh governments in power during the existence of the rob have been quiet. and it never been willing to acknowledge these. these concerns about human rights violations within the rob. the fact that the government has been unwilling to acknowledge that there is a problem or even that that there needs to be an investigation. that's a me suggest that the government has some in the high school

and the government in bangladesh means shake hands, sienna. ah, she's the head of the alarming league, and for the last 14 years, the prime minister under her rule, rab has been accused not only of stage shoot outs, but also more covert operations, such as abductions and torture. who the ministry of home affairs told us that according to their investigations, the allegation made appears not to be authentic. ah, back in the capital dot com, we are meeting someone who blames the government for rob's crime rad. picked up my brother. and dennis is missing. this is sandita islam to lee the spokes person of an association of families whose fathers, brothers and husbands were taken by rob. it's called maya dark mothers call. i was the younger one. anyway,

i'm going to was to hold my hand so i couldn't do that gives me that. i couldn't do anything. i still couldn't find me. what is happening with him. so i real till my last breath, whatever happens and by and they often meet and hold rallies, determined to pressure the government to act up a river. i give me, i love that much. i love it. i did with it. i just like st. jude as brother, many of those abducted were local activists for b and p, bangladesh. main opposition party and were picked up in the run up to the 20142018

elections. this seems to align with what the whistleblowers claim rabb acts on government orders. lou wanted to go digging gauge meant decision for any political target would come at the very least from the ministry of home affairs, whole ministry, if you had to get clearance from the home ministry before doing a shoot out. i don't know if both thought us to move, if the home minister gave such an order, it is highly unlikely that the prime minister of bangladesh didn't know about it because they also carry a sombre message. a don't feel the message this interview was a message for those who are waiting for their beloved ones to return. if they had been gone for a year or 2 more than the chance that they will return alive, is one percent less than one percent debt that we should, they actually keep the ministry of home affairs dismissed the allegations of political involvement as mollified and politically motivated

we had to cut our meeting with sun cheetah islam short this this doll this store there was standing on the store. but that don't parson was you laid out via 8 us that on my pi several men, some in uniform. we're approaching her house. we left with a different car to divert their attention. it needs to be of this before i told them to lock the door there drank gather i think in front of out ah ah,

we don't know if we had been followed or not. but it wouldn't be anything unusual for sun gita. just a taste of the continuous harassment she and her friends are facing. these families live hoping to see their loved ones again, not knowing what happens after rob knox at your door. but we also talked with someone who knows it very well. that night i cannot forget it like knock that knock on my door that opening the handle and getting past on the face. i cannot forget december, this is no fees mohammed along. he was arrested on november 3rd 2021. as this news report shows, he was accused of illegally selling alcohol, a controlled substance in bangladesh. we filmed the building where he says he was taken after his arrest bolt, the fournier auto robin had orders for the 1st round floor in the right corner.

there's a daughter, so this is her and real this sill one for enter. this is the open space. there is a chair and there is a whole to have i was getting horrified like what kind of place is this? and like when i was taken to the sales and i got flawed, that this is a very well organized and managed dr. brook dictor lumina is a hidden sound system in every room. he didn't sound system. little thought that he's always also, you're mostly a to create psychologically, sounds wilma, look what are we identified? one of the sounds played in the cells for the next 36 hours. alarm says he was tortured and tortured by one person,

specifically ms. enough with navi kaiser. is considered one of drabs tortures. we confronted him with the allegations, but he did not respond. navea garcia need kaiser is a bit arrogant. i'm not aware of anyone who has a good relationship with him. danny alam says that his torture asked the journalists not to film his face, but with this screen shot, we identified him up there in the corner. that proves that he was there. on other hand, they also had a playstation in that room and a tv. so when i was getting beaten ah novice, i thought of playing jessica's 3 on the playstation he instructed them to put the hoop on my late in the hand. come up finally and navigator, pissed a switch. and the hook was like pulling me up, pulling me up. he says he was beaten and given electric shocks.

but his life was spared, ran file charges against him and handed him over to the police. he was imprisoned, still, bearing the wounds of torture, unsure of what lay ahead, went on december 10th, 2021. at the stroke of 7 p. m. unexpected news brightened his day. he us has announced new sanctions against a dozen officials of foreign governments for their alleged rolls in human rights abuse sanctions against dozens of people and entities tied to china, bangladesh against individual associates with the police. both in bangladesh, accused of extra judicial killings. you have no idea like people in the deal and the like the prisoners when like, shouting with joy, they were like, beating the place still play through each other the floor. 3rd, when it getting like shouts of joy like everyone out there so happy. despite

providing it with training and equipment for many years, the u. s. had imposed sanctions on rap for their involvement in a gross violation of human rights, namely the extra judicial killing of optimal hawk. oh, the fit was remarkable. almost immediately, the number of killings went down. what's more, many bangladesh is welcomed them as the 1st sign of a long awaited reckoning for a force that his wielded power with near impunity. and even though you can say anything against them in bolivar, the other countries in the war are like they are concerned that these things are going on. it was really a light at the end of the tunnel for us. but impunity remains pervasive for as important as the sanctions were. they only targeted 7 high ranking officials by name countless others got away with literally

murder abductions. ready and torture. remember this face, nevada kaiser, one of wraps alleged tortures was not included in the sanctions lest in fact he was given extra responsibilities. those we identified who were present at hawks murder were also not on the list. and the man who lord him into the trap was even awarded a lucrative posting. as a un peacekeepers, i'm out of their cup. as far as i know, everyone has gone on a peacekeeping mission after serving and rather good. and even though the number of killings went down after the sanctions, rob is still committing crimes with general electron scheduled to take place by early next year. they could become even more dangerous for the doctor need about john donna ashi,

dr. bung with or any national election tuition for the human rights situation in bangladesh did were 18 didn't, but to me that the business got to looking into. but from our experience of the last 3, especially the last 2 elections, there are enough reasons to believe that those in power will try to stay in power. by any means, dick gonna broke out without a cold and wrapped up just couldn't. 2 2 2 like rab was created in big part to fight terrorism, but it's now itself terrorizing many in bangladesh to these types of entities. unfortunately tend to be hard wired for the use of violence in great part because they do enjoy impunity. evidence suggests not only that,

rob uses its special powers and tools to circumvent the court system and commit crimes. but also that the force itself is used as a political tool. i'm blaming goldman bar it lesson them in a wrong bar. it lesson them to a kill general people about this. do abduct, and i'll talk to them to maintain their ball are well, these accusations are not new. our investigation and the unprecedented testimony of to rob insiders make them harder to ignore. that is what makes the so important the fact that these testimonies come from the inside from those that know exactly what has been going on on the inside. there's going to be a lot more questions now. and one question, in particular, what could be done to put an end to robs crimes in the book that everyone who is responsible needs to be identified and be placed on the sanctions list. if it means

targeting the highest level of the state, it needs to be done to about should they should be in a minute. there should not be any such kind of organization in a county like bangladesh. 2 2 do you'll be. ringback ah,
