His memories uncovered a secret jail – right next to an international airport

When investigators smashed through a hastily built wall, they uncovered a set of secret jail cells.
It turned out to be a freshly bricked-up doorway – an attempt to hide what lurked behind.
Inside, off a narrow hallway, were tiny rooms to the right and left. It was pitch-black.
The team may never have found this clandestine jail – a stone’s throw from Dhaka’s International Airport – without the recollections of Mir Ahmad Bin Quasem and others.
A critic of Bangladesh’s ousted leader, he was held there for eight years.
