Mir Ahmad Bin Quasem was abducted by armed men in Bangladesh, leaving his young daughter confused and heartbroken. He endured eight years of solitary confinement, having been unjustly targeted for being a critic of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. His case exemplifies the troubling issue of forced disappearances in Bangladesh, particularly against dissenters. Alongside, Labour MP Tulip Siddiq's resignation due to corruption allegations involving her family further complicates the political landscape, raising doubts about the Labour Party's decisions regarding candidates of Bangladeshi heritage amidst a backdrop of heightened political scrutiny.
I was held in solitary confinement for eight years, handcuffed and blindfolded, yet still don't know where or why.
...Siddiq's resignation raises troubling questions about Starmer's judgement and Labour's approach to courting the votes of people of Bangladeshi heritage.
