Bangladesh Building Collapse Press Release

As the death toll of the collapse of the Sohel Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh today passes
700, the Federation of Muslim Organisations is saddened and disappointed at this most
horrific human tragedy.
Federation PR officer Suleman Nagdi said ‘This tragedy has highlighted the disasters that can
occur when the greed that individuals pursue for a profit takes precedent over the regard for
human life.
We call upon the Bangladeshi government to take whatever legal sanctions possible against
the proprietor of this building to ensure that this does not take place again in the future. We
also call upon the British government to put in place even further checks and measures to
ensure that the companies and countries we import from have safe working conditions in
place.
We wish to convey at this time our prayers and supplications to all those that have tragically
perished; those that have been injured; and the people who have lost loved ones and we pray
that the Almighty give them the patience to overcome this tragedy which will lie in memories
for many years to come.’
