Corporal punishment

On behalf of the millions of abused Bangladeshi children who suffered the horrors of corporal punishment in school, I would like to thank Sir Frank Peters, lawyer Sarah Hossein and the Bangladesh High Court for the roles they each played in abolishing the inhumane practice.
Although it's been well over 30-years since I last attended school and suffered the humiliation and both physical and mental pain of corporal punishment, unpleasant memories haunt me to this very day.
The decision makes me feel proud to be a Bangladeshi and indicates we are leaving the dark ages at long last.
