Joint forces this day (14 December) detained three labour leaders and handed them over to Ashulia Police Put amid workers’ unrest.
The arrestees are Md Sarowar Hossain, president of the Bangladesh Garment Workers Solidarity Federation, Md Mahbub Alam Bacchu, accepted secretary of the organisation, and Faridul Islam, organising secretary of the National Garment Workers Federation.
“The joint pressure handed over four folks to us within the evening, including three labour leaders. On the opposite hand, we’re no longer but sure why they had been detained. As soon as the joint pressure recordsdata a criticism or case, we are in a position to present more dinky print,” Ashulia Police Put Officer-in-Designate Abu Bakar Siddique educated The Industry Standard.
Colleagues of the detained leaders speculate that their arrest would possibly perhaps perchance presumably be associated to the ongoing labour unrest in Ashulia.
Nazma Akhtar, secretary (public kinfolk) of the Bangladesh Garment Workers Solidarity Federation, educated TBS that Sarowar was once at a gathering of the Asia Floor Wage Alliance-Bangladesh in Shyamoli this afternoon and was once called to a defense pressure camp from there and later detained.
“Equally, Bacchu was once also detained,” she added.
Abdul Halim, accepted secretary of the National Garment Workers Federation (Ashulia Regional Committee), stated Faridul Islam, was once called to a camp in Ashulia within the afternoon, where he was once detained.
