I met human rights champion @AdulurKhan from @odhikar_bd when I was in #Bangladesh. I am appalled that he is now imprisoned with Nasiruddin Elan, in retaliation for their advocacy. #FreeAdilanElan.

Partnering with my father, he led passage of many of our nation's civil rights laws advancing disability justice, and was awarded the Profiles in Courage award in 1992. May he RIP.
