Dear Home Minister, 

KM Shamim Akhter, former vice-president of a left wing student organisation, the Bangladesh Chhatra Union, was abducted by men in plain clothes on 29 September near his house in Dhaka. 

I call on the authorities to launch an immediate investigation into his abduction.

I seek assurances that his physical safety is protected and that he is not subjected to torture or other inhumane treatment should he be found to be in the custody of the authorities.

Yours sincerely
