Stop BSF killings
From April 19, 2011 issues of different newspapers, we learned that a Bangladeshi cattle trader was killed and another was wounded when Indian Border Security Force opened fire on them in Gazipur frontiers in Satkhira on April 18, 2011. BSF is routinely killing Bangladeshis; it seems it has become their favorite past time and an opportunity to practice their marksmanship on innocent Bangladeshis. According to Odhikar, the Border Security force killed 907 people of Bangladesh between January 1, 2000 and March 31, 2011. We are outraged and protest this action vehemently. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina considers India to be a friend of Bangladesh, but is this how a friend acts? The government must take immediate steps to prevent further loss of lives of Bangladeshis in hands of the trigger-happy BSF.
