A solo photography exhibition titled "Border That Bleeds" was inaugurated today (9 January) in protest against border killings.
The exhibition, curated by photographer Parvez Ahmed Rony, was opened beside the lake adjacent to the Korail slum in Mohakhali, Dhaka, reads a press release.
The exhibition commemorates Felani Khatun, who was shot dead by India's Border Security Force (BSF) on 7 January 2011 and left hanging on barbed wire for five hours. Nearly a decade and a half later, justice in the Felani killing case has yet to be delivered. The exhibition is being organised in her memory.
