By dismissing the significance of the victim’s disappearance simply because they were not a journalist, the politician demonstrated a shocking lack of empathy. It is crucial to remember that every individual, regardless of their profession or background, deserves equal protection under the law. Enforced disappearances are grave human rights violations that must never be justified or brushed aside, irrespective of the victim’s occupation.

The attempt to justify the enforced disappearance by highlighting the victim’s non-journalist
status is an unfortunate reflection of the government’s stance on the matter. It is not only an
insensitive response but also undermines the trust of the citizens in their elected representatives and the justice system. Instead of finding excuses, the politician should have used the opportunity to reassure the public and outline the government’s efforts to address the issue promptly.
In any democratic society, it is the duty of the government to protect its citizens and ensure
their safety. Enforced disappearances, regardless of the victim’s background, erode public
trust, sow fear, and hinder the pursuit of justice. By failing to acknowledge the severity of the
situation and explain the government’s efforts to locate and ensure the safe return of the
missing individual, the politician has missed a crucial opportunity to demonstrate
transparency, accountability, and commitment to the welfare of the people.
The response from the politician not only sends a distressing message to the victim’s family
and loved ones but also raises concerns about the overall state of human rights in the country.
Human rights are universal and should be protected without discrimination. No person should
be subjected to enforced disappearance or any other violation of their fundamental rights.
It is imperative that the government takes this matter seriously and provides a transparent and
accountable response to the incident. The politician’s dismissive attitude must be rectified
with a genuine commitment to address the issue and bring the responsible parties to justice.
The government should also take proactive steps to prevent future incidents of enforced
disappearances, regardless of the victims’ occupations.
The disappointing response from a politician and spokesperson of the government to a
possible enforced disappearance highlights the need for greater accountability, empathy, and
commitment to human rights. Justifying such incidents based on the victim’s non-journalist
status is a concerning reflection of the government’s approach. It is essential that the
government takes immediate action, ensures transparency, and works towards creating an
environment where all citizens are protected, regardless of their profession or background.
Respecting and safeguarding the rights of every individual is the cornerstone of a just and
inclusive society.
