In August, a principal in the Bangladeshi city of Kurigram was suspended from his job after allegations surfaced that he is gay, part of a growing fundamentalist crackdown on educators they consider to be pro-LGBT. Below is a lightly edited statement from Bangladeshi advocacy group JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France condemning the suspension and calling for a full investigation of the allegations. JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF) strongly condemns the suspension of Haroon Or Rashid Milan, principal of Kurigram Collectorate School and College. This decision represents a troubling trend toward targeting individuals based on unproven accusations related to their sexual orientation rather than any substantiated evidence of misconduct.
