says it will guarantee these investment by german companies. german companies will negotiate the deals themselves, but germany will provide a guarantee. and that is something that germany doesn't normally do in war zones because the risk is so high. and it shows that in this case, the german government really is committed and trying to, to help you crane rebuild. and that was julia sally speaking with me earlier up next on the w news. it is close up with an exclusive investigation into alleged extra judicial killings by an elite anti terror force in bangladesh to stay with us if you can for that. i'm sorry, kelly and for length. thank you so much for watching. take care of interest to the global economy, our portfolio, w business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission to analyze who fight for market dominance

stood with d w. business beyond tools, uhm, ah. 2 this phone call capture 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 i. ringback ah, ah, the man being killed is akram hog. earlier that day he had been taken by rob, 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 a death squads. 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 well 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 did production batavia and it provided them trade in equipment today. rob has more than 13000 members because of them days. no more temporary 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 act of 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. hot book on 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. lou

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 crowns wherever the day goes. dilemma. ah me! if not, let me think she loved his daughter's a lot. he was very fond of them, no matter where he was, no matter how far away. if he 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, li crushed a glass of his painful of my father wants us to do well and that is wholly trying

to for his leg utterly past 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 one 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 after st. woodson mm home . 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 with both of those little girls, we don't know if he somehow managed to take her call or if it 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, i guess it wasn't again, this is direct evidence of how an operation is staged conroy. but it is, is essentially stage to the performance of source, dis, with 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 question 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 rad. they would go any extent to punish me. it would be even extraordinary. 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 route and speak out. i did take part in a study b shell, keeping dog joe investigations did a moderate all the things that i've seen during my time include shootouts with criminals. shoot out what i said, feeling killings and bride taking them to put together. 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 took hawks 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 me the opening act centers around monitoring the victim or rather the target we don't consider the person as a person, rather it target into demos, we kind of forget that the pass and where targeting shades act them as a life that addicted di bonaza family. it went back again to what is it a boy about an act, a place in society? shit i can do on the we from way everybody plays

a volatility. we asked our source to draw an example of how an extra judicial killing is carried out. consider it as it rhodes. and this is the water body. first, vin eat will enter and stop over here. boom, boom did very good here. and here we stop on kind of movements. ah, gullow glass. we use civilian bands, but 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. i don't want to put it equal to person who was talking to him before opening file was probably trying to keep him distracted from get a conversation to latina looper. my

not shuttle to soft cost. i saw town so typically used to avoid leaving any mark on the body of got away. took a shot i don't know. do usually the trigger is cool from a distance of one or 2 feet general. will your stitch model so that the muzzle flash 1000 tosh, the targets, clothing or scale atwood exam right for philip way? oh, 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 individual's and with you, the o. n entity cartridges are scattered around the bellow.

oh yeah, we identified 2 voices in the recording as that of men who served at rab at the time of the murder. their involvement directly implicates robin the case. judy it', if they want to make it look like a drug related case if they definitely block drugs either in his pocket or inside the bag, he is carry the bag mother medic, adele. oh lou fox, death 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 a shoot out, a cruel hawk. but his wife reject these allegations, melnik would always another good. he was never involved in anything like that. he was always again struggling loganville and the report 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 no signs. time and again to reduce administrative hassle at a speed on all the right hand side about about her good attack him according to the whistleblowers, these are some common execution sites. yes, i believe like these there. yep. 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 led it dick, at least 20 minutes. at least 20 minutes. do diminished for 20 minutes. you hear the sound of groaning that brought us then slowly it stops. own. 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 mortem 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 away the performers booth nickel. these are there are points allocated for each operation. must it go to the end of the month of every battalions points are tallied. and the one with the most points it is declared the winner that up. but on 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 shootouts 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 reported 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 have been quiet and had 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 shay casino. 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 shootouts, 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 crimes. wrapped up, 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 raoul. it's called maya dark mothers call. i was the younger one. anyway, i'm going. he 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,

advice or they often meet and hold rallies, determined to pressure the government to act up of if i give i love that much good. i love you. i ah, just likes and jesus 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 seemed to align with what the whistleblowers claim rabb acts on government orders. ah, wanted to go digging gauge meant decision for any political target would come at

the very least from the ministry of home, a fast hole minister if you had to get clearance from the home ministry before doing a shoot out a demo. even thought estimate give the home menace to 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 8 as you with the message. this interview is a message for those who are waiting for their beloved ones to return. if they had been gone for a year or 2, then the chance that they will return alive is one percent. less than one percent. did that up? we should, they estimate 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 the that to parson was available. yeah. aid 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 call the embassy for them. i told them to lock the door there drank gather i think in vogue about oh oh, we don't know if we had been followed or not, but it wouldn't be anything unusual for son judah. 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 alarm, 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 ball to his, the fournier auto ro, on had orders for the 1st round floor in the right corner. there the doctor. so this is the and real, this sill one fainter. this is the open space. there is a chair and there is a hole to hang up. i was getting horrified like

what kind of place is this? and like when i was taken to the sales, i could thought that a did. this is a very well organized and managed dr. booked. it does limit a is a hidden sound system in every room. he didn't. so system. little thought is always also you're mostly a to create psychologically solar. 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 wraps tortures. we confronted him with the allegations, but he did not respond. now because i need kaiser is a bit arrogant. i'm not aware of anyone who has

a good relationship with him. don't any alarm 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 proved that he was there another time. they also had a playstation in that room and a tv. so when i was getting beaten, ah, novack, i thought of playing jessica's 3 on the playstation, he instructed them to put the hoop on my lake. in the hand come a finely 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 wrapped 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. thank you. as 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 associated 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're like beating the place still play through each other the floor so many 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 after a mohawk. ah,

the fit was remarkable. almost immediately, the number of killings went down. what's more, many bangladesh is welcome them as the 1st sign of a long awaited reckoning for a forest that his wielded power with near impunity. and even though you can say anything against them in bolivar, the other countries in the world 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 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 un peacekeeping mission after serving and rotten. 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 you re, rates in didn't, but to look at the be sure to go 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 a quote of it. 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 kill general people about this, do a deck and torture them to maintain their ball are while these accusations are not new, our investigation and the unprecedented testimony of to rob insiders make them harder to ignore. bad 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 that but 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 to do this should be in a minute. there should not be any such kind of organization in the country like bangladesh. 2
