BSF atrocities
OA Khan Uttara, Dhaka
The Daily Star reported on 20 August 2005 that Indian BSF soldiers shot dead a Bangladeshi farmer named Basiruddin on his farmland, 800m inside the border. Such acts of brutality by the BSF are nothing new. Odhikar, a human rights organisation, has reported that 328 Bangladesh civilians have been killed by the BSF in the last five years. We are allowing Indians to make a lot of money selling their goods in Bangladesh, and they are repaying us by shooting Bangladeshi farmers! The government of Bangladesh should threaten to ban import of goods from India unless the BSF stops killing Bangladeshi civilians and agrees to pay compensation to the families of the hundreds of Bangladeshis who have been killed by them over the years.
