Cheated migrant workers
Is there any one who can hear their voice?
Abdaka Al Sun Bakar (22) of Kenya and Abdul Aziz of Ghana boarded on MV Rahmanur Rahim which was carrying Bangladeshi Flag. They ship was carrying Sugar from Ghana to Bangladesh via Brazil. Just before the ship took off the anchor, crews discover 8 of the voyagers and disembarked immediately.
But the above two hide themselves into a tiny compartment just near the Propelar blade!! After 12 hard days without food or water, they came out for lives. All the Bangladeshi crews were kind enough to save their life. The ship reached Bangladeshi port after 24 days more. The two young who were forced to take the decision of migrating- were handed over to the police. The small news was published in a Bangla Daily on 21 October 2008. Dear all, It would be nice if anyone or any organisation do come forward to hear their voice with the aim of providing them with a small dream in their home country.
