Child oppressors won’t be spared, warns Hasina

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday warned that no one will be spared if found involved in child repression as it is a crime against humanity, reports UNB. She came up the warning while speaking at a programme organised at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) in the city marking the 51st birthday of her slain youngest brother Sheikh Russell. Sheikh Russell Jatiya Shishu Kishore Parishad organised the programme. On this day in 1964, Sheikh Russell, also the youngest son of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was born at the historic Bangabandhu Bhaban at Dhanmondi.
On the fateful night of August 15, 1975, Sheikh Russell, a class-IV student of University Laboratory School at that time, was assassinated along with most of the family members of Bangabandhu by the enemies of humanity.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina urged all to remain vigilant so that incidents like child oppression and killing can be brought to an end in the country.
“Inshaallah, we’ll try the culprits who will be involved in child repression and killing....they won’t be spared,” she said.
The Prime Minister urged all, including the children of the country, to put in their all-out efforts to stop child repression in the country. “I urge all to remain vigil so that no one can commit such crime against humanity; whoever will do this kind of crime, we’ll surely bring them to justice,” she said.
Referring to the torture of children engaged in household works, Hasina said she wonders how people can torture these children. “Are they human being? I simply can’t understand...small boys and girls sent to various homes to work and they are often subjected to physical torture.” She also asked the people to think about their own children before torturing other’s children. “Taking birth into a poor family is not a sin... all children have their basic rights to enjoy.”
