Taslima Nasrin

“Three organisations are hosting a programme to felicitate me, which is why I am returning to the city that was my home for years till I was hounded out in Nov 2007.”

“I was hounded out of Bangladesh in 1994 following death threats from Muslim clerics over my book Lajja.”

“For 32 years, no govt there has allowed me back.”

“I loved that flat so much that I continued paying rent for two years after being forced out, hoping I would return soon.”
