US citizen seeks reasons from PM

A US citizen, who was denied entry to Bangladesh on July 23, has requested the Bangladesh prime minister to explain the reasons for the denial and to withdraw restriction on him to travel Bangladesh in future.
Thomas Christian Eskildsen, co-president of Jumma-net, a Japanese NGO working for indigenous people in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), made the request through a letter to the premier, dated July 30.
He was detained at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on July 23 and deported to Bangkok the next day over allegation of "controversial activities in CHT".
"I did not receive full explanation of the reason for my detention by the airport police and deportation to Bangkok...I ask that I be given a full explanation of the reasons for denial of my entry to Bangladesh," he said in the letter.
On January 3, Eskildsen was ordered to leave Bandarban after detention and interrogation by intelligence authorities.
