Prosecuting the BSF

The recent articles posted in The Daily Star in relation to the torture of a Bangladeshi citizen by the BSF men in the Murshiabad district of West Bengal have stirred a widespread feeling of helplessness and powerlessness. Despite withstanding so much torture and brutality by the BSF men for so many years, it is extremely saddening to see that we are still not vocal enough to take action for ending the BSF killings and tortures. It is incredible to think that at this day and age, with information at our fingertips 24 hours a day, we are still unable to bring an end to such inhuman activities. I urge Human Rights Watch (HRW) to go ahead in its initiative to prosecute BSF (The Daily Star, front page, Feb 1, 2012) and let BSF know that they may fool some of the people for some time, but not all of the people all of the time.
