+    <!-- Enable recording for Bangladesh:
+           Based on the Evidence Act of 1872, audio recordings may be admissible as a form of
+           evidence. In civil cases, call recording may be used, but judges decide on when they are

+           recordings as a form of evidence is common, the Supreme Court has not stated whether
+           recordings can be used as evidence blindly, thus their use is on a case-to-case basis.
