UNI Global Union has expressed growing concern over the situation in Bangladesh. The organization is maintaining contact with its affiliates, prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of workers and their families.
“We condemn the brutal response of the previous Government to the legitimate calls of the people for change,” stated Rajendra Acharya, UNI Global Union Regional Secretary for Asia and Pacific. “We expect those responsible for the violence and deaths of many hundreds of demonstrators to be held accountable for their actions. There must be full and independent investigations into the killings, with justice for the bereaved families.”
The union emphasized that peaceful demonstrators' protection and safety must be ensured, with full respect for civil liberties in line with international human rights and labor standards obligations.
