On May 26, a group of human traffickers and their families shot and killed 26 Bangladeshis in the Libyan city of Mizdah. Four African immigrants were also killed in the incident.
Citing one of the survivors, the Foreign Ministry said at the time that 36 Bangladeshis were crossing inaccessible roads in Libya into Europe in search of a better livelihood. Human smugglers crossed the desert from Benghazi to Tripoli.
The traffickers, in collusion with the Libyan militia, took the group hostage in the city of Mizdah and demanded more money.
In the ensuing altercation, the main African trafficker was killed, his family and the rest of the traffickers shot indiscriminately, killing 30 people and wounding 11 others.
After that incident, several cases were recorded in different parts of the country, including Dhaka, and the police arrested dozens of people accused of being involved in human trafficking.
The six people named in the red notice are all charged in the case and are abroad, CID officials said.
