SADF Podcast 5 – An Urgent Appeal for Shahriar Kabir

ISSN: 2406-5773

As of 17.01.25, it had been 121 days since Mr. Shahriar Kabir, a Bangladeshi secular activist, film producer, author, and journalist, was arrested by the current government. A number of questionable cases were filed against Mr. Kabir, a ‘Prisoner of Conscience’ listed by the Amnesty International. He is now spending his days as an ordinary prisoner in the Kasimpur Prison at Gazipur, a city near Dhaka. On 25 September 2024, SADF published an open letter (https://lnkd.in/eMrXj5_5) asking the current Bangladeshi government for Mr. Kabir’s immediate release and for nullifying all the cases against him. Mr. Kabir is also in dire need of medical care, which is continuously denied by the judicial authorities. Mr. Kabir has always fought for a secular Bangladesh. SADF has decided to talk about his present situation and the violation of his human rights in this episode of SADF Podcast series, hosted by Dr. Rayhan Rashid. Our guests Natalia Sineaeva and Mona Haghgou Strindberg discuss Shahriar Kabir’s present situation and appeal to the world community to pressure for his immediate release.
