'Our work is not finished' says Shahidul Alam upon returning home

Bangladeshi photographer Shahidul Alam, detained with 144 global leaders while attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea in solidarity with Gaza's suffering, has returned home.

His flight landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 4:55 am on Saturday.

At the airport, he was greeted by his wife, human rights activist Rehnuma Ahmed, National Museum Director General Tanzim Ibn Wahab, photographer Munem Wasif, and colleagues.

Released from an Israeli prison, Alam arrived in Istanbul, Turkey, via Turkish Airlines on Friday afternoon before heading back to Bangladesh.
