Former Brigadier General Aman Azmi Released Following Sheikh Hasina’s Downfall
This is Abdullah Aman Azmi. He is a former Bangladeshi Army officer and the son of late Ghulam Azam, a prominent leader of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, who died in prison in October 2014.
The Sheikh Hasina regime sacked him from his position and was abducted and forcibly disappeared in 2016 by the brutal Sheikh Hasina regime for simply defending his father and being a son of a leader of Jamaal-e-Islami.
Aman Azmi spent 8 years at the infamous secret detention facility known as ‘Aynaghor’ (House of Mirror). The name ‘Aynaghor’ was given to the facility because a detainee can't see anyone except himself, like a mirror.
He spent 8 years in a single cell. He couldn’t see the sun, couldn't hear Adhan and his family didn't know if he is dead or alive!
Following the downfall of the Hasina’s regime. He released and now reunited with his family.
During his years of imprisonment:
- His mother passed away. They didn't even give him the news of his mother’s death. He came to know about his mother's death after three years!
- One of his son passed away.
- His wife waited for him for 7 years. She remarried thinking he was dead.
These were his words following his release:
"How long have I not seen the light and air, I have not seen the world of Allah, I have not been allowed to hear the call to prayer. The amount of tears that I have wiped on this towel, if collected, a lake could have been made."
