Aminul Islam\\\'s brutal murder

The death of labour leader and trade unionist Aminual Islam has drawn attention from international media. Aminual was president of a section of the Bangladesh Garments & Industrial Workers Federation and a leader of the Bangladesh Centre of Worker Solidarity and advocated improved working conditions and higher wages in 2010.

Despite passing two years, his murder has remained shrouded in mystery and the international human and labour rights groups have expressed their dissatisfaction over the trial process. If the murder case is not solved and the perpetrators are unpunished, the ruling party cannot avoid its responsibility.

I hope the government will be honest enough in solving this murder case. Our law enforcing agency is capable of solving critical cases but it is surprisingly showing clumsiness in this case. Bangladesh can seek help from foreign investigators to solve this mystery, if necessary.
