Transgenders protest at killing of leader

Transgender people on Saturday demanded arrest and exemplary punishment of the killers of their leader Haider in Jamalpur.
They made the demand from a human chain held in front of National Press Club in the capital.
Under the banner of Bangladesh Hijra Kalyan Foundation, they also called on the law enforcement agencies to find out fake ‘hijra’ from the community.
The foundation president, Abida Sultana Mitu, said criminals were now taking shelter in the ‘hijra’ society who were involved in criminal activities in society and demolishing goodwill of the community.
Mitu demanded immediate arrest and exemplary punishment of the killers. She suspected that Haider was killed by such fake hijra.
On Thursday, Haider Ali Koli was killed by unidentified miscreants at village Batchar at Islampur upazila.
