The government has ordered the removal of Mohammed Kamrul Islam, a counsellor at the Labour Wing of the Bangladesh Mission in Switzerland, following an incident where Law Advisor Asif Nazrul was harassed at the Geneva airport. A locally hired staff member at the mission has also been dismissed, foreign ministry spokesperson Toufique Hasan revealed during the ministry’s weekly briefing on Thursday. Asif was returning to Bangladesh on Nov 7 after meetings with the International Labour Organization in Geneva. During the incident, Counsellor Kamrul Islam and local staff member Mizan from the Geneva Mission were present but remained silent. Kamrul, an officer from the 29th BCS Administration Cadre, joined the Labour Wing in Geneva in 2021.
