24 FORCED LABOUR BOYS RESCUE IN BANGLADESH


DHAKA, Bangladesh - Police in Bangladesh have rescued 24 boys, several of them just six years old, from a brick-field where they were forced to work all day and chained up at night.
Officers raided the premises in the south of the country after parents of two captive children complained to the police, police captain Sirajul Islam said.
All the children were aged between six and 15 years, he said, adding they were brought from one of the poorest districts in northern Bangladesh.
  • "They (owners) beat us everyday and did not give us proper food. We had to relieve ourselves in the room we lived in," one boy told the private TV channel Somoy.
  • As thousands of brick-making facilities have sprung up across Bangladesh over the past few years to feed a construction boom, forced labour has become a growing concern for human rights groups.
  • Since January last year, police and paramilitary troops have launched several raids in brick-fields.
