Subject-Request for probe in the matter of abduction and release of Mr. Abu Bakar Siddique

Honorable Prime Minister,

This is with reference to the news about the kidnapping of Mr. Abu Bakar Siddique, Executive director of ‘Hamid Fashions Ltd’ and husban of Ms. Syeda Rizwana Hasan of Bangladesh Environmental Lawyer’s Association (BELA) on April 16, 2014. It is indeed a good news that Mr.Siddique was released on April 18, 2014. He was abducted by unidentified men from Fatulla in Narayanganj, while he was travelling to Dhaka from Narayanganj by car.

We appreciate prompt action by Government of Bangladesh which led to the release of Mr. Abu Bakar Siddique after 35 hours.

We wish to submit that there is a compelling logic for the concerned authorities in Bangladesh to undertake rigorous probe the role of the individuals and the circumstances which led to this sad incident. (Photo: Rizwana Hasan with Abu Bakar Siddique)

We submit that environmental and human rights organisations from India and across the globe were outraged at this cowardly act of the kidnappers. We wish to know the reasons and chain of events that led to the emergence of this situation.   The identity of the kidnappers must be made public and subjected to exemplary punishment as per law at the earliest to inspire confidence in the law enforcement agencies in Bangaldesh. 

We demand prompt action against the culprits and an impartial investigation whose result of which must be made public in a time bound manner.

Thanking You 

Yours faithfully
