IGP Benazir Ahmed got the US visa on Thursday to attend the United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit (UNCOPS), confirmed a senior official of the police headquarters to Prothom Alo.

The two-day long summit– from 31 August to 1 September – will be held at UN headquarters in New York – where a six-member delegation team led by home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal will take part, reads a government order.

The members of the delegation team are: IGP Benazir Ahmed, minister’s personal secretary (deputy secretary) Md Asaduzzaman, additional deputy inspector general (additional DIG) Nashiyan Wazed and assistant police inspector general (AIG) Masud Alam.

The delegation will leave Dhaka on 30 August for the United States.

There was an uncertainty whether IGP Benazir would get the visa to attend the conference as he was sanctioned by the US state department on 10 December in 2021 'for his involvement in a gross violation of human rights'.

US wanted BD closer to India - it has achieved its objectives.

In all practicality he will stay under a house arrest, contained within the hotel & UN building.

But he can order “hospitality”?

Given the crime rate in NY - staying in a hotel is the safest thing

Yes, you are right. His movement will be limited to the UN conference and his Hotel room. He deserves this kind of harassment although he has no shame.

In any other country, the govt would have sacked him or he himself would have resigned. But, he and Hasina are shaming our country by not doing either thing. Bloody shameless society!!

12 IGPs of other countries are also under the US sanction. They did not seek a US visa to attend. Only BD IGP is going. Hasina Bibi wants our people to understand how strong is her standing throughout the world and that even the USA cannot disturb her govt.

We are a group of very silly people.

Mistri bhai,

USA elected Trump grabbed women’s private parts.

And current president, Biden, showered with his daughter when she was a teenager.

And their CIA runs an international ring of torture centres.

Our Benazir is a Saint compared to the Satan.

And your Japanese men are just plain sick and weird!!!!

Twelve other countries' IGPs under American sanctions did not send them to the UN Conference.

At least, they have shame.

Not really. I’ve had some experience running these meetings. Typically the delegation would be received by personnel from their foreign mission office in the area (embassy/consulate etc) — and sometimes, personnel from the host organisation (UNCOPS in this case) also accompanies the delegation.

Their travel, site visits, stay, leisure activities etc (outside the program schedule) are all organised and program managed by their respective foreign mission(s). I have not seen movement restrictions placed on sanctioned foreign LEA personnel representing their nation in a multilateral forum grouping.

It would be different if the UN is an organisation that belongs to the US. It isn’t, so allowances are extended and any inclement issues conveniently ignored.

You are talking about a normal visit by a normal person. But, IGP Benazir Ahmed has been imposed sanctions by the US govt. He has now reached America to attend something like a UN Police meeting.

Since he has been under sanction, it is certain that he is not allowed to move beyond his meeting venues in the UN office and his hotel. And he leaves American soil after two days' stay in NY.

I don’t know whether you read my entire post or not. Multilateral agencies like the UN have exemptions extended to them by their host country.

But if you’re saying he’s there and his movements are actually restricted, then I’m not going to dispute it.
