How do you hold the powerful accountable? - Alam and Feinstein | Studio B Unscripted

For more than 40 years, Bangladeshi photojournalist Shahidul Alam has chronicled social movements, political turmoil and human rights abuses. He was imprisoned and tortured for criticising his government’s response to student protests. In 2018, he became a Time Magazine Person of the Year.
A former MP in Nelson Mandela’s first democratic government, Andrew Feinstein resigned over his party’s refusal to allow an investigation into a $6.2bn arms deal. Ever since, he has become a leading expert on corruption and the global arms trade.
In this episode, Alam and Feinstein discuss their journeys into activism and how to bring about social and political change.

    A bangladeshi activist who saw the genocide of the bangladeshis and a Jewish activity who is the son of a holocaust survivor, discussing about how we can show up for the pal£§tenians today. This brotherhood and solidarity can't be expressed in simple words, the emotions can't be understood by colonisers, it just can't be. Amazing segment with amazing set of inspiring human beings.👏🏽

    Shahidul Alam is a dramatist. His aim is to gain attention from foreign media by spreading propaganda and rumours. The reactionary fundamentalist groups in Bangladesh are his big clients.

    What an amazing summary of a beautiful piece by AJ....But aside from engaging personalities in discussions and debates and constructive arguments, the world WE must make a meaningful effort to stop the injustice...These are complex situations that require honest and dedicated fully committed actions that really see the solution through n through.

    The West loves to propagandize some third world people by making them spokespersons for 'democracy', 'human rights' etc., Shahidul Alam is one such person. If the Bangladesh government had not jailed him, the West might not have looked back at him. He should be grateful to the current government for this 'global fame' of his.

    What a joke!! Shahidul is a person who holds terrorist ideas! He is charged by terrorism and spreading false and hate speech in Bangladesh. He is connected with radical extremist political party jamate islam. He supports the mass killings of Bangladeshi people in 1971. He supports the genocide. How could be he is our pride? He is a shame for us and you too.

    Mr. Shahidul Alam is a Bangladeshi photojournalist. His work is world class and he has already won many international awards. The current ruling government obstructs his work in various ways and he was tortured in Jain, that he said just for speaking on this channel a few years ago. We want Shahidul Alam to do his work independently and his stand for democracy in independent journalism in Bangladesh is strong.
