The United Nations has voiced deep concern over the ongoing exploitation and fraudulent recruitment of Bangladeshi migrant workers in Malaysia. In a statement issued from Geneva on November 21, UN human rights experts said that thousands of workers recruited through Bangladesh Overseas Employment and Services (BOESL) have paid more than five times the official recruitment fees, only to find themselves trapped or at risk of severe exploitation.
