A recent documentary by Deutsche Welle (DW) titled "Torturers Deployed as UN Peacekeepers" has drawn criticism for its misleading portrayal of Bangladesh Army personnel serving in UN Peacekeeping Missions. The Bangladesh Army emphasizes that it adheres strictly to the UN`s rigorous selection and vetting protocols to ensure that only the most qualified and thoroughly vetted individuals are deployed.
Notably, DW did not seek comments from the Bangladesh Army regarding the allegations made in the documentary the, according to a press release by ISPR.
This omission raises concerns about the documentary`s aim and objective and Bangladesh Army asserted that the documentary was intended to defame a Bangladeshi law enforcement agency, using irrelevant video footage.
Army’s denouncement of this biased media projection has compromised the documentary`s credibility and has prompted questions about its underlying motive.
