How very sad. Saleem made an inspiring contribution to our movement. On a personal level, he was kind, humble, and both cheerful and rueful. He managed to work with a keen sense of pragmatism while embodying a more transformational pursuit of justice. He will be deeply missed.
It is with heavy hearts that we inform you about the passing away of our director, Prof. Saleemul Huq, on 29 October, 2023.
His unmatched legacy will remain as a shining example for years and generations to come.
