1.7 Coordination with the National Human Rights Institute of Bangladesh HRC/3125/2012 Plaintiff: R.P.Mirsadin Respondent: Ministry of External Affairs A woman lodged a complaint with the Commission over a dispute with her husband. In the complaint  it  was  stated  that  plaintiff’s  husband who was a Bangladesh national forced their eldest child of 14 years of age out of the country to Bangladesh without consent of both her and that of the child. The other two children were left with her but the woman claimed that she was so much depressed over the safety and security of her eldest child. The petitioner requested the Commission to intervene in this matter. Since it did not fall directly under its purview, the Commission advised the petitioner initially to lodge a complaint with the Police and then followed up police investigations. The Police had informed the Banladesh Police via INTERPOL and the Plaintiff got more depressed when her husband telephoned her and conveyed his idea of not returning to Sri Lanka and also when she learnt that the child was not treated well. The Commission referred this matter to the National Human Rights Institute of Bangladesh & ASK, which is an NGO operating in Bangladesh and asked those institutions to check the whereabouts of the child. It was revealed then the father had kept him under the custody of his mother and step father and left for a job in Italy. As instructed by the National Human Rights Institute of Bangladesh, the Plaintiff then filed a case in Dhaka Court, obtained a court order in her favour, went along with Bangladesh Police and officers of National Human Rights Institute of Bangladesh to the place where the child was kept and successfully returned to Sri Lanka with her child. 1.8.
