In an event that is tragically too common in Bangladesh, at least 15 garment workers were murdered, with many others injured, when a boiler exploded last weekend. The explosion was so powerful that it led to the partial collapse of the four storey building as well as injuring people in the street outside. This disaster is only the latest to hit Bangladeshi workers in the last few years. Pressure from worker and human rights organisations has at least pushed the Bangladeshi government to quickly bring charges against a dozen people for this latest massacre of workers.
