Shahidul Islam, a union leader, was beaten to death on June 25th for his labour rights activism in Tongi, Gazipur, Bangladesh.
The murders of the unionists illustrate the extreme measures devised to suppress freedom of association in Bangladesh.
Workers in Bangladesh are systematically repressed by employers utilising criminal groups and yellow unions to terrorise workers organising independent democratic unions
