Bring Taslima Nasrin back home: NHRC

National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairman Mizanur Rahman is unhappy about the lack of initiatives to bring feminist writer Taslima Nasrin back home.
His reaction came at a view-exchange meeting on empowerment of women held at CIRDAP auditorium in the capital Wednesday.
Addressing the audience, he said: “What have you done to bring Taslima Nasrin back. Under what authority, a state deprives its citizen of the right to return home?”
Rahman said every citizen had the right to live in their motherland.
He said in an angry tone: “Taslima Nasrin couldn’t return home even after the death of her mother and relatives to see them for one last time.”
Nasreen, a physician by training, was compelled to leave the country amid threat of militants following publication of her novel ‘Lajja’, according to a news agency.
