Twenty-two years have gone by into the abduction of Kalpana Chakma and still the culprits evade justice, speakers at a programme say.
I never knew Kalpana di – not personally anyway -- the fearless indigenous activist who was snatched away from us by “mysterious” powers-that-be 19 years ago, when she was only 20 years of age.
I first heard about the alleged abduction of Kalpana Chakma just after the incident occurred in June 1996. I was teaching at Dhaka University at that time.
