The Indian authorities have repeatedly assured us that they will not lethal weapons. However, the Border Security Force keeps killing unarmed Bangladeshi civilians in the border regions. According to Odhikar, a human rights organisation, from January to September 2011, the BSF allegedly killed 21 and injured 51 Bangladeshis, also abducted 12.They have killed about 900 Bangladeshi in the past 10 years. On January 7, 2011, a 15-year-old girl, Felani, was shot and killed by the BSF and her body had been hung on barbed -wire fence for about five hours.
If anyone illegally crosses the border, then punishment should be meted out according to the laws.According to international laws. shooting unarmed people is a punishable offence, However , the BSF has consistently violated the laws.
The Bangladesh government should strongly protest against such killings by the BSF, to protect its citizens' right to life. There will be no meaning of friendship with India if the BSF continues killing Bangladeshis,
