Sumi Khan

After some consideration we have decided to campaign for the Bangladeshi journalist and human rights defender Sumi Khan.

Sumi Khan has written on the involvement of local politicians and religious groups in attacks on members of minority communities, and about kidnapping and land grabbing by landlords.

As a result of this, Sumi Khan has been the victim of numerous death threats, and on one occasion, a horrific attack which left her seriously injured. Despite this, Sumi Khan continues to publish her work.

We are very concerned about her safety, and Amnesty International considers her to be an individual at risk.
