Sheikh Hasina has been the prime minister of Bangladesh since 2009. Her early credentials as a pioneer of democracy have been tainted by election fraud, and a spate of extrajudicial killings and torture. My guest for this episode was Tasneem Khalil (@tasneem on Twitter), a Bangladeshi journalist who was forced to leave his country after being imprisoned by the Bangladeshi authorities in 2007. He is Editor in Chief of Netra News.
Vi pratar om påskhelgens terrorattacker i Sri Lanka och om militant islamism i Sydasien. Gäst i podden är Tasneem Khalil, svensk-bangladeshisk journalist och författare som bland annat bevakar militanta rörelser i regionen. Musik: Safakash – Thai Food
I veckan har Indien och Pakistan drabbat samman militärt. Efter en självmordsattack på indiska soldater i Kashmir har konflikten mellan de båda kärnvapennationerna eskalerat. Vi pratar om det som döljer sig bakom krigsrubrikerna: människorättskrisen i Kashmir, ett av världens mest militariserade områden. Medverkar gör också Tasneem Khalil, svensk-bangladeshisk journalist och författare, som skrivit boken "Jallad: Death Squads and State Terror in South Asia". Musik: S.F.T. - Birds Are Away
State executioners in their various guises are explored in all their horrific detail by Tasneem Khalil, in his new book Jallad: Death Squads and State Terror in South Asia (Pluto, 2016). From the Rapid Action Battalion of Bangladesh to the men in white vans in Sri Lanka, the book interrogates both the brutal specificities of state agents, as well as the underlying themes that cross cut state terror in the region. Strong, brave and relentless Jallad is an important and timely book. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
