He's Free!The brutal regime of Sheikh Hasina has fallen and a mother embraces her son after almost 8 years!
In 2016, Mir Ahmad BinQuasem, Arman to his friends was unlwafully seized from his family and held incommunicado in secret detention facilities. Following the magnificent #QuotaReformMovement protests and the fall of Sheikh Hasina, Arman was released to his family and he is now with them, including his two daughters, one of whom was only 1 years old when he was abducted. We thank God for this mercy, all of you here, his friends and family, lawyers here and abroad, and to the people of Bangladesh. Read more Arman was one of hundreds forcibly 'disappeared' by the Hasina regime. We hope other families will be reunited with their loved ones very soon. |

Who is Arman?

Mr Ahmad Bin Quasem, or Arman as he is known to his friends and family, is a Bangladeshi barrister, who has also been called to the Bar of England and Wales. He was representing his father before the International Crimes Tribunal, a tribunal set up by the ruling party in Bangladesh to try crimes committed during the Bangladesh Liberation War. The ICT has been widely criticised internationally including by groups such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, as well as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and in the independent report prepared by Geoffrey Robertson QC. He was abducted on 9 August 2016. This is his story.
