Speakers at a conference at the London School of Economics warned about the serious environmental, ecological, social, and economic impacts that the planned Tipaimukh Dam construction by India will have on the people of Bangladesh and northeastern India. The Voice for Justice World Forum called for a joint feasibility study between Bangladesh and India before any dam construction to find a fair solution to the environmental issues. India, as an upper riparian country, was reminded of its moral and legal obligation to consult with Bangladesh before proceeding with the dam. Dr. Hasanat Hussain MBE, Convenor of the World Forum of the Voice For Justice, chaired the conference while British treasury minister Stephen Timms praised the organizers for holding the forum in London. He stated at the conference that the British government will always support the oppressed worldwide and collaborate with organizations like VFJ to advocate for human rights and justice for the disadvantaged. The event, the first of its kind for VFJ, was held at the London School of Economics by a coalition of its European, US, Canadian, and Asian branches. It was attended by Bangladeshi academics, experts, VFJ members, and a diverse group of individuals from the British-Bangladeshi community in the UK. Former minister Abdul Moyeen Khan and former Bangladesh high commissioner to the UK, Sabih Uddin, participated in the discussion via the internet. Concerns were raised about the potential humanitarian crisis that could arise if any obstacles were constructed on the Surma and Kushiara rivers, affecting millions of people who rely on them. Dr. K M A Malik from the University of Cardiff presented a paper on Climate Change in South Asia, particularly focusing on Bangladesh, at the conference. Two other papers were also discussed, one on the 'Rights of Migrant Workers in Gulf States' by Dr. Mahbub Khan from California State University, and the other on 'Women's rights in Islam' by Hasan Mahmud, the director of Sharia Law at the Muslim Canadian Congress. The speakers emphasized the importance of formal bilateral agreements between migrant-sending states like Bangladesh and migrant-receiving states in the Gulf to address the widespread violations of human rights and dignity of migrant workers. The conference urged Gulf governments to prioritize the human rights of migrant workers who contribute significantly to their economies and send remittances back to their home countries, while receiving low wages, poor working conditions, and job insecurity. Hasan Mahmud, in his paper on women's rights and Sharia, highlighted that Islam and authentic Sharia laws protect and promote women's rights fairly and justly. Professor Anthony Booth of Christchurch University in Kent, UK, along with other scholars and activists, expressed regret over the misinterpretation and distortion of laws that has resulted in discriminatory treatment of women in various societies due to social and cultural biases. Dr. Abdur Rahman, Dr. Zakia Rahman, Dr. Stephanie Eaton, and Luthfur Rahman Choudhury, along with joint convenors of the World Forum of Voice For Justice from various cities in the UK, participated in the question and answer sessions at the end.
