Selim Nazrul is no more

Its a matter of great sadness that our dear friend Selim Nazrul is no more. He left us forever on 15 October 2008 by brain hemorrhage. We will loose his strong voice against all discrimination, humiliation and exploitation of people with disabilities in the country. A very attractive, hard working and energetic personality Selim Nazrul has had his immense contribution in consolidating disability movement in Bangladesh.

He started his career as a sports journalist. He was involved with information material development and publications in Centre for Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) for a good duration. He contributed for Disability Resource and Documentation Center (DRDC). Then he started working for people with disabilities of his own region, Chittagong. He organized disability rights movement in Chittagong Division and had his great contributions for regional disability NGO Network CSD. He was also the Executive Director of Centre for Disabales Concern (CDC).

AWDP-Bangladesh Conveys deep condolence to his family, colleagues, friends and dear ones for his tragic demise. It also prays for his departed soul.
