    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on the petitions. Let me start with the Petition on forced disappearance, which is fundamental. I hope the petitioner or Committee will invite some Hon. Members so that they can also benefit from their experience. They should not only look at the law, but they should also look at the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry on Extra-judicial Killings. I come from a community which lives in fear of extra-judicial killings and forced disappearance. You heard that I was on news for bad or good reasons. I was picked from my office two weeks ago. What did I do? Because of that fear of extra-judicial killings, some boys from my community were arrested. We feared that they would be hanged, killed, or made to disappear as it has been the history in my community. I escorted them. I went to court, sat there and made sure that when they were released, they went home safely. Whatever means they used to get home, it is good that I saved my people. I did not commit any sin. Our community lives in fear of extra-judicial killing every day. I urge this Committee to be very careful, sensitive, and to call some of us so that we can share with them our experiences. First of all, they should look at the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry on Extra-judicial Killings. I support the Petition."
