Aminul Islam, 40, president of the Bangladesh Garment and Industrial Workers’ Federation (BGIWF)’s…and a senior organizer with a well-known labor rights group, the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity (BCWS), was tortured and murdered in early April 2012. To date, nobody has been held responsible for this crime…the investigation has made no progress, raising fears that the crime will go unpunished and the perpetrators will be protected. A climate of apparent impunity is increasing the level of fear among former colleagues of Mr. Islam and other worker rights defenders in Bangladesh. International buyers are also increasingly worrying that their brands and reputation will suffer from association with Bangladesh in large part because of the murder of Mr. Islam.
