[mukto-mona] Letter Campaign About Kuwait Debacle

Hello Everybody,   The attached letter has been sent to various Embassy's of Kuwait (in appropriate format).    We should all try to speak up about this issue from our own positions/platforms.   Thanks and best regards.   -Reshad   ============================================   To   Honorable Ambassador Embassy of Kuwait xxxxx Date:  August 12th, 2008   REF:  Current situation of Asian, especially Bangladeshi workers in Kuwait.   Honorable Ambassador,   We are deeply concerned about the recent situation of Asian immigrant workers especially workers from Bangladesh in Kuwait.  A huge number of Bangladeshi workers have been already deported from Kuwait in last couple of days. Workers staged strike rightfully demanding better pay and decent treatment.   Bangladesh has strong political and religious ties with Kuwait; also we had a significant contribution for Kuwait during gulf crisis in the early 90's.  We completely respect the internal law and order systems of Kuwait, but in the mean time we also would like to see that workers are getting benefits per the international labor laws (guided by International Labor Organization, ILO).  As far as we understand there is no fair minimum wage enforced in Kuwait (like the USA and many other countries) and we would like to request the Honorable Government of Kuwait to take necessary steps that would enforce a fair minimum wage as well as good working environment in Kuwait.   We would also like to humbly remind that there are millions of Bangladeshi workers around the globe and they are working everywhere with great reputation.  The agitation by mostly unskilled workers in Kuwait does not represent typical working culture of Bangladeshi workers.  We strongly believe a better working environment would make sure more professional workmanship from our workers.   Thanks and best regards.   Shwadesh [A platform of Bangladeshis working for development] xxxxxxx E-mail: contact@shwadesh.org
