Today, as a nation, we are ashamed of what we have become; we are ashamed of the barbarians amongst us, who find perverse pleasure in the torture and death of a child, so much so that they record the act and share it gleefully on Facebook.

A Facebook post chilled me to the bone. It was a news story of 13-year-old Rajon who was beaten mercilessly by a group of men until he succumbed to his injuries.

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?

Autopsy report of Md Samiul Alam Rajon, who was brutally tortured to death in Sylhet, says the victim died due to brain haemorrhage.
