German expats for fair probe into journo couple murder
Bangladeshi expatriates in Germany yesterday formed a human chain on the United Nations (UN) premises at Bonn in Germany, demanding a fair investigation into the murder of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi.
They also submitted a memorandum to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon demanding transparency in the investigation of the case and immediate arrest of the killers, says a press release.
Dozens of Bangladeshi expatriates and citizens of other countries, including Sagar's former colleagues in Germany, joined the programme from 9:00am to 9:30am, expressing doubts whether the killers of the couple will ever be punished.
Sagar worked for Bangla Service of Deutsche Welle from June 2008 to May 2011, after which he joined private TV station Maasranga in Bangladesh as a news editor.
Sagar along with his wife Runi, senior reporter of another TV channel ATN Bangla, were murdered at their apartment in the city's West Rajabazar on February 11.
