Amid nationwide outrage over beating dead a 13-year-old boy Rajon, two Barisal orphanage girls have been subjected to cruel corporal punishment by the institution’s health assistant and its video leaked on the internet.

Protestors across Bangladesh demand the death penalty for the killers of a 13-year-old boy as anger mounts over the sickening lynching which was captured on video and then went viral.

Expatriate Bangladeshi Kamrul Islam, who appears to be the main culprit responsible for beating dead 13-year-old Rajon, confesses to his role in the killing.

What kind of perversion of the mind turns a person into an inhuman beast? What kind of society have we created that we allow such horrible things to happen to children, to women, to the physically or mentally disabled, to anyone who is in a position of powerlessness?
