Observer Online Report

National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener and Opposition Chief Whip Nahid Islam is set to visit the United Kingdom on November 13 for a week-long tour, during which he will hold meetings with British parliamentary bodies, human rights organisations and other stakeholders.

During the visit, Nahid is scheduled to meet the International Development Committee of the UK House of Commons, the Westminster Foundation for Democracy and Human Rights Watch. He will also address teachers and students at the University of Cambridge.

The information was disclosed in a press release issued by the NCP's UK visit preparation committee on Wednesday (November 11).

According to the statement, this will be Nahid Islam's first visit to the UK. He will be accompanied by the party's Joint Member Secretary for International Relations, Alauddin Mohammad.

Earlier, on November 9, the details of the visit were announced at a press conference in East London by Ehtesham Haque, convener of the preparation committee and a central joint convener of the NCP.

He said discussions during the visit would focus on Bangladesh's democratic progress following the July Uprising, human rights protection, and the needs and challenges of sustainable institutional reforms.

At the University of Cambridge, Nahid will share his experiences and accounts of the July Uprising, while discussing the beginning of a new chapter in Bangladesh since July 2024.

Haque said discussions with relevant stakeholders would also highlight the trial of the July massacre and the impact of indiscriminate politicisation of state institutions.

During the tour, Nahid will also engage closely with members of the British-Bangladeshi community, with particular emphasis on listening to their experiences, contributions and expectations.

The press release further said a civic reception would be organised in his honour by members of the British-Bangladeshi community on November 16.

NCP Central Committee Expatriate Welfare Affairs Secretary Barrister Nurul Huda Juned was also present at the press conference.
