To All comrades and friends of Asian Pacific Workers Solidarity Links (APWSL), Labour Movements, Friends,

VERY VERY SAD NEWS

On 2nd August Iqbal Majumder the national facilitator of APWSL Bangladesh was brutally shot dead. At 8-30 pm, he was on his way home after days work, after crossing 1000 yds from the office he was shot from point blank range. He was alone. Passerby people brought him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead by the doctors.

The identity of Iqbal was:

• General Secretary Bangladesh Jatiyo Sramik Federation, (BJSF).
• General Secretary Bangladesh Textile workers & employees Federation.
• President Jute twine workers & employees Federation.
• National Facilitator. APWSL Bangladesh.
• National Secretary Ganatantric Majdoor Party (Democratic workers party).

The dastardly act of terrorist killing of Iqbal Majumder is part of total political & social unrest prevailing in the country instigated by the capitalist to fish in the troubled water.

Iqbal Majumder was a pioneer in the anti privatization and anti de-regulation movement, as such the capitalists needed to eliminate him through their agents.

Please circulate the message and request all components of APWSL to stage protests in each country to ask Government of Bangladesh to bring the killers of Iqbal into the book and give them exemplary punishment.

Yours in solidarity,
Tafazzul Hussain
President BJSF
