Cheating in Liberia

39 back with army help

Staff Correspondent
At least 39 Bangladeshis who have been cheated in the name of providing jobs in Liberia returned home yesterday after over two months stay in makeshift shelters provided by Bangladeshi peacekeepers there.
They arrived at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in three batches by the flights of Jet Airways, Biman Bangladesh Airlines and Emirates, said officials at the Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET).
They stayed at the after they were rescue by the Liberian authorities.
The Bangladeshi peacekeepers had provided them makeshift shelters, as they became helpless because there is no Bangladesh embassy in Monrovia, said a release of Inter-Service Public Relations Directorate.
These jobseekers went to Liberia in different times, but they were arrested early March, said an official of the expatriates' welfare and oversees employment ministry.
BMET Director General Khorshed Alam Chowdhury told The Daily Star that five to six recruiting agencies had processed visas of 20 Bangladeshis and the rest of them collected visas at their own effort.
"The visas were false and so they did not get jobs there," he said.
The recruiting agencies paid for return tickets for 20 victims while BMET from the Wage Earners' Welfare Fund paid for 19others,hesaid.
"As they return home, we shall investigate the case," Khorshed said.
The Bangladeshis have returned safely following consistent efforts by the foreign affairs and expatriates' welfare ministries.
Bangladesh Peace Keeping Contingent in Liberia as well as International Organization of Migration also supported the repatriation effort, says a foreign ministry release.
Online newspaper from Monrovia allafrica.com on April 7 reported that the Bangladeshis were trafficked to Liberia by a Liberian company, Talk Fushion Napey (Lib.) Inc. The head of the company is reportedly arrested.
Five Bangladeshis and four Liberians who were allegedly involved in the trafficking were also arrested in Liberia.
According to Liberia's AntiHuman Trafficking Task Force, the Bangladeshis entered that country through the Roberts International Airport (RIA) amid huge security presence.
Liberian Labour Minister Tiawon Gongloe said the men were made to pay huge sum to the alleged perpetrators, under the guise that Liberia is booming and that they could be employed with huge financial benefits.
