The government has protested the killing of a Bangladeshi fisherman by the Myanmar Navy and expressed deep concern over the incident.
An official statement on Friday (October 11) said, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly protested to the Myanmar government over the killing of a Bangladeshi fisherman named Usman (60) from Kona Para of Shah Parir Island in Cox’s Bazar‘s Teknaf Upazila by the Myanmar Navy on October 9.”
According to the protest letter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a statement sent to the Myanmar Embassy in Dhaka said, “Bangladesh has expressed deep concern over this tragic incident.”
It said, Myanmar has been asked to fully respect the territorial integrity of Bangladesh and refrain from any provocative activities.
Deep concern has been expressed to Myanmar over the abduction of 58 Bangladeshi fishermen and six fishing boats, including a boat owned by Usman, while fishing near St. Martin’s Island in Teknaf Upazila.
After communication between the Bangladesh Coast Guard and the Myanmar Navy, the fishermen along with the boat were finally released yesterday in two rounds.
The statement also said that Dhaka called on the Myanmar government to take immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of such unjustified acts.
