Bangladesh Freethought
From Philosopedia
BANGLADESH FREETHOUGHT
The Humanist and Ethical Association of Bangladesh (IHEU), is at 55/D, Dhaka U. Staff Quart, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh.
The Assembly of Freethinkers is at House No. 25B, Road No. 1, Dhanmondi R/A, Dhaka 1205, Bangladesh.
A freethought movement commenced in Bangladesh in the 1920s but has remained weak.
This is the country that forced Taslima Nasrin—a noted critic of Islam as, in her opinion, it is being falsely practiced—to flee for her life. Freethought in any form is dangerous to express in Bangladesh.
(See entries for Taslima Nasrin and for Nehal Karim. Human Rights and Development Review, an annual publication in English, is available at 68 Dhaka University Market, Sonargon Road, Kantabon, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh.)
