World Women's Conference of grassroot women

Weltfrauen organisieren innerhalb kürzester Zeit internationale Solidarität mit Joly Talukder und sieben weiteren Gefangenen.

Mitteilung der kommunistischen Partei Bangladesh zu den Verhaftungen, was am 1. April geschah:

1.4.18

Dear Comrade,

This is to inform you that Jolly, the general secretary of Bangladesh Garments Workers Trade Union Centre and other seven leaders of the same organization has been arrested and sent to jail today, 1 April 2018. Few months back regarding trade union movement on some genuine demands of the workers in a particular factory the employers association instituted a false case against the leaders of BGWTUC. The so called accused leaders went to High Court for advance bail in connection with that case. However, High Court granted them bail for four months and asked them to appear before the appropriate Lower Court. It’s a normal practice that when High Court gives a bail, the Lower Court also gives bail. According to the  direction of the High Court Jolly and other leaders (so called accused) appeared before the Lower Court today. However, Lower Court refused to give them bail and sent them to jail. This is unusual. It has been done by the influence of towners association.

We shall again try to go to High Court and ask for bail. We are not sure what High Court will do this time. The process of going to High Court will take some time. In the meantime the leaders will remain in jail.

Protest declaration
We demand that Joly Talukder and seven other union leaders of the Garments Workers Trade Union Centre will be released immediately !

We have learned that Joly, the general secretary of Bangladesh Garments Workers Trade Union Centre and other seven leaders of this organization have been arrested and sent to jail today, 1 April 2018.

We also learned that Joly Talkuder is in solitary confinement. This is a monstrosity.

All accusations against Joly Talukder and her colleagues are fabricated lies.

We demand the immediate release of Joly Talukder and her colleagues!

Joly Talukder is one of the respected coordinators of the World Women’s Conference and we protest vehemently against the solitary confinement of Joly Talukder !

We will distribute this protest declaration internationally.
