“Shahidul Alam 1st Time Magazine Person Of The Year 2018. National Geographic Explorer at Large. Photographer, writer, curator, human rights activist.

It was exactly five years ago today that I had been abducted from my home. I was blindfolded, handcuffed, taken away and tortured. I spent 107 days in incarceration. I am out on bail, but despite the fact that the law on which I was charged has been repealed and the trial has not yet begun, five years on, I still need to appear in court every month. If convicted, I face fourteen years in jail. Yet we resist. #democracy #freedomofspeech #bangladesh #politics Please download this movie and share it before it gets taken down.”
