Forced Labour at Brickfield

Statement of 30 not recorded

A Dhaka court granted bail to two employees of a brickfield yesterday a day after Rab detained them on charges of forcing 30 people to work.
Police had appealed for a seven-day remand of the detainees, but the court turned them down.
Also yesterday another court refused to record statement of the workers, saying the office hours had been over.
Investigation officer of the case, Sub-Inspector Saiful Islam of Ashulia Police Station, produced Sultan Mohammad Ratan and Hossain Gazi before the court of Senior Judicial Magistrate Masrur Salehin.
SI Saiful said the 30 people had been sent back to Rab.
Commander M Sohail, director, Legal and Media Wing of Rab, told The Daily Star they would hand over the workers to their relatives.
Rab said they raided Ekota Brickfield in Ashulia Wednesday evening after a tip-off from intelligence sources and rescued the workers, including two men chained by their legs.
Billal Hossain, one of the workers, had filed a case with the police station accusing 11 people of Ekota Brickfield of torture and forced labour.
