Taqbir Huda, a prominent Bangladeshi human rights lawyer and who previously served as South Asia researcher at Amnesty International, will deliver a keynote address on the recent revolution and political uprising in Bangladesh which many have dubbed ‘the
world’s first Gen-Z revolution’. It is —a pivotal moment in the emerging nation’s history with global ramifications. This talk will highlight the critical human rights challenges that emerged in the wake of the revolution, including widespread state repression, enforced disappearances, suppression of dissent, and the undermining erosion of civil liberties. Huda will draw on his expertise to analyze the ongoing political shifts and their implications for human rights, with a focus on the role of legal reform and international advocacy in ensuring accountability and justice during this transformative period in Bangladesh’s political landscape.
