go online or not at all. women in architecture. why are they so invisible to the larger public? we decided to ask them, messes and what is the poetry secret of the house? about their struggles and dreams. if a 100 month ability is huge, they have so much to lose shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. this has to be really, really good. starts april 20th on d, w. 2 ah, 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. ah, ah, the man being killed is ackerman hug. 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 there. thank 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. reg 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 don't. 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 did production batavia and provided them trade been opened to de 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 by the name of the 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 the pocket. can 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. 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 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. a still gossip is painful of my father wants us to do well and that is wholly trying to for his leg annually pack 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 that we trusted them because he was not involved in anything that 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. i don't, i don't know. 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 oliver was another thing i'll okay. again,

it was and again this is direct evidence of how an operation is staged conroy bodies is essentially stage to the performance of songs. days for 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 route. they would go any extent to punish me. it would be even a study. she'll kill me, largely. that's why i'm hiding my face while i'm talking to you when i got home. well, that's because they're the 1st ever to have served in route and speak out. i did

take part in extension b shell, keeping dos. joe investigations did a moderate all the things that i've seen during my time include students with criminals, should out quite often 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 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 me the opening act centers around monitoring the

victim or rather the targets we don't consider the person as a person rather docket get the demons, we kind of forget that the pass and where targeting shades act on as a life that addicted z bonaza family, it went back again. the good addict of body, but aunt at a place in society, she dug into under we from way back about a bully de volatility. we asked our source to draw an example of how an extra judicial killing is carried out. consider it as the boards and this is the water body. first, vin e to lanta and stop over here. the booty, very good here and here it stop on kind of movement. ah,

color, bless you civilian bands with tinted windows. each of rob's operations is unique, but they share props and procedures that also take center stage in hocks. last phone call, photo. going to put a big with 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 shuttle do. usually the trigger is cool from a distance of one or 2 feet dental or your city model. so that the muzzle flash 1000 tosh, the targets, clothing or scale at all when exam right for philip way. oh mm. 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 at d a. d o o n n e t 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 rob in the case. the judy eda, if they want to make it look like a drug related case if they definitely plant drugs either in his pocket or inside the bag he is carry. good begging mother medic, adela. oh,

blue ox. 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 issued out a cruel heart. but his wife reject these allegations around equinox reason for the girl. he 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 shut, i use no signs. time and again to reduce administrative hassle at a speed on operating thought about about her good attack. him according to the whistle blowers, 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 lead it dick,

at least 20 meters. at least 20 minutes diminished. for 20 minutes, you hear the sound of groaning that brought us then slowly it stops no 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 await the performers both nickel, these are there are points allocated for each operation. must it order 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 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 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 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. wrap 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 rob. 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 him. what is happening with him? so i will till my last breath. whatever happens. i'm bye. and they often meet and hold rallies, determined to pressure the government to act movies which i give me. i love that much. i love it. i did with it.

ah, just like some 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 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, a fast hole ministry, if you had to get clearance from the home ministry before doing a shoot out a demo. even thought us to look 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 at 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 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, 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. 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 sandita. 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 far good leg 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 bolt, the fournier auto ro on had orders for the 1st round floor in the right corner. there the doctor. so this is her. and real, this sill one fainter. this is the open space. there is a chair and there is a whole to hang up 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. booked. it does limit a is a hidden sound system in every room. he didn't sound system. little thought is always also you're mostly a to create psychologically. sounds good on 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 wanted wraps tortures. we confronted him with the allegations, but he did not respond. navea garcia, nevada 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 proves that he was there another team. 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 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. when on december 10th, 2021. at the stroke of 7 p. m. unexpected news brightened. his date. he us has announced new sanctions against a dozen officials of foreign governments for their alleged rolls in human rights of you 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. so when a getting like shouts of joy like every one out there. so at, 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 forest 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're 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 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 dawn ashi duncan bung or any national election tuition for the human rights situation in bangladesh did were 18 didn't, but to look at 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 on her tough 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 a deck and tortured them to maintain their power. 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 rob's crimes. that 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 the country like bangladesh. 2 2 do you'll be

ah ah, a different way it is. someone is currently more people than in worldwide in such a better life. with in contact with find out about bailey story. info, migraines, reliable news for migrant. wherever they may be. ah

ah ah, this is dw is coming to live from berlin, finland officially joined nato. the alliance is welcoming the nordic nation as its newest member at a ceremony getting underway in brussels. the expansion doubles nato's border with russia and move moscow is calling for the.
