Death of Bangladeshi student in US: human chain demands justice
A human chain was formed in front of the Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dhaka today, demanding justice for the killing of the Bangladeshi-American student of University of Massachusetts, Sayed Faisal.
A Cambridge police official shot and killed an allegedly armed Faisal on January 4, prompting dozens to protest police brutality and call for transparency at Cambridge City Hall on January 5.
The protest comes when the United States National Security Council's Senior Director for South Asia Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher is scheduled to hold meeting with Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen at the foreign ministry in Dhaka.
Eileen Laubacher is on a four-day visit to discuss security, Rohingya crisis and other bilateral issues.
Journalist and columnist Ajay Das Gupta said it is very unfortunate that the United States police shot dead a Bangladeshi who was not found guilty of any crime. We want justice for him.
Ajay Das said there are many incidents of human rights violations and racial violence taking place in the United States but they are advising other countries on human rights.
We do not want human rights violations in our country. But if there is, we will take action ourselves, not in the advice of others, He added.
When asked about the matter, Bangladesh's Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen said the US has a good judicial process and the authorities there will surely take action.
