Sheikh Hasina’s ‘secret jail’: Bangladeshi lawyer recounts his time at the prison where he spent eight years

The Hindu  

Blindfolded, handcuffed and bundled out of his secret prison for the first time in eight years, Bangladeshi barrister Ahmad Bin Quasem held his breath and listened for the sound of a cocked pistol. “That was the first time I got fresh air in eight years,” Mr. Quasem, 40, said. “I thought they were going to kill me.” Sheikh Hasina, the Premier responsible for Mr. Quasem’s abduction and disappearance, had fled the country hours earlier. “I never could believe in my wildest dreams that they would subject me to disappearance just days before my father’s execution,” Mr. Quasem said. “It did not feel like eight years for us,” Mr. Quasem’s mother Ayesha Khatoon said.
