Paris, France; May 2, 2024: JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF) vehemently condemns the heinous act of the tragic killing of Abul Kalam, a 22-year-old Bangladeshi youth, by India's Border Security Force (BSF) near the Patgram border in Lalmonirhat on the early morning of April 26, 2024.
JMBF asserts that the killing of Abul Kalam by the BSF is a clear violation of human rights and an egregious display of excessive use of force. His untimely demise due to excessive force serves as a poignant reminder of the grave dangers faced by innocent civilians residing in border areas.
According to reports from various news media outlets in Bangladesh, Abul Kalam, a resident of Jhalangi Dangarpar village in Srirampur union, Patgram upazila, was fatally shot by the BSF near Pillar No 848 at the Jhalangi Dangarpar border. He was among a group of 15-16 individuals who had entered India to bring cattle. Despite being brought back to Bangladesh in critical condition and admitted to the Patgram Upazila Health Complex, Abul Kalam succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter.
Advocate Shahanur Islam, Founder President of JMBF, expressed strong protest over the incident by demanding to ensure accountability for those responsible for Abul Kalam's death, emphasizing the paramount importance of ensuring justice and implementing measures to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
JMBF has urged for immediate diplomatic dialogue between the authorities in both Bangladesh and India to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the matter as well as to address the underlying issues contributing to border tensions and to safeguard the safety and security of border residents on both sides.
In solidarity with Abul Kalam's grieving family and the people of Bangladesh, JMBF has reiterated their demand for justice and accountability for this tragic loss of life.
Thank you
