The World Federation of Trade Unions expresses its deep condolences for the loss of Comrade Haider Akbar Khan Rano, the historic leader of the working class movement of Bangladesh.
Comrade Rano identified his name and action with the struggles of the working class of the country, and particularly with the mass rising of 1969 lead by the trade union movement, which drove Bangladesh towards the liberation war 2 years later.
Haider Akber Khan Rano passed away on the 11th of May 2024, at the age of 82 years, but his example and his legacy will continue inspire the struggles of the working class in Bangladesh.
The WFTU expresses the condolences to comrade Rano’s family and comrades.
