350.org, YouthNet issue joint statement protesting killings of power plant workers in Banshkhali Star Digital Report Star Digital Report Environmental groups YouthNet for Climate Justice and 350.org issued a joint statement protesting the deaths of five coal power plant workers in Banshkhali for demanding due wages and workers' rights. They were shot and killed at the construction site of Banshkhali coal powerplant, also known as the Chittagong or Chattogram power station, financed by the Chinese-owned Shandong Electric Power Construction Corporation III (SEPCOIII) and Bangladesh-based S Alam group, the statement read. "As a young climate justice activist in this country, I am utterly horrified and saddened by the killings of these workers. They expressed their democratic rights to protest for workers' rights and their own unpaid wages - but paid with their lives. There must be an investigation into these killings, and the workers' situation at the SEPCOIII coal plant. The authorities must be able to tell us why they fired on these workers. This is already the second time workers have been killed in relation to S Alam, and there must be a stringent inquiry. As Bangladeshis, we deserve safety and accountability."
