Bangladesh has lifted the restriction on sending workers to Libya considering the improved political situation in the war-torn nation. Contacted, Dr Ahmed Munirus Saleheen, secretary of the expatriates' welfare ministry, said the government had withdrawn the restriction on sending workers to Libya. But a section of manpower workers continued sending workers to that country through unofficial channels, sector insiders said. Therefore, migrant rights activists expressed concerns that human trafficking might increase with the reopening of sending workers to Libya. Shakirul Islam, chairman of the Ovibashi Karmi Unnayan Program (OKUP), said the overall political situation was not vibrant; so, sending workers to Libya was not safe.
