Hasnat Abdullah (Template:Lang-bn) is a Bangladeshi student activist and a coordinator[1][2] of the Anti-discrimination Students Movement, which led both the 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement and the 2024 non-cooperation movement.[3][4] He is currently a student in the English Department at University of Dhaka.[5][6]
Activism
Abdullah was one of the coordinators of the anti-discrimination Students Movement, opposing quotas in government jobs, which evolved into a campaign to remove Hasina from power.[7] He along with Nahid Islam, Asif Mahmud, Sarjis Alam and others gained national recognition in mid-July 2024 when he and several other University of Dhaka students were detained by police[8] as the protests became violent.[9][10]
In the aftermath, on August 5, Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina resigned and left the country.[11] Islam stated that their goals weren't fully met, and following Hasina's resignation, the group aimed to "abolish fascist systems forever".[12]
He and his organisation called Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus to lead an interim government.[13][14]
