Paris, France; December 20, 2024: France-based human rights organization, JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF), strongly condemns the barbaric killing of three Bangladeshi youths –Md. Jahangir, Shahabor Ali, and Sakibur Rahman – who suffered sharp weapon injuries and beatings at the Panchbhulot border in Sharsha upazila, Jessore, on December 18, 2024. This inhumane act, allegedly perpetrated by members of the Indian Border Security Force (BSF), constitutes a grave violation of domestic laws, international treaties, and fundamental human rights principles.
JMBF urges the Government of India to immediately cease such provocative and intrusive behavior and demands that the Government of Bangladesh take effective steps to stop the killing of Bangladeshi citizens by the Indian BSF.
