“In 2017 Rohingya people sought refuge in Bangladesh due to violence in their country, I started organizing activities for them, it was then that I discovered the power of youth coming together [..],” Sadat was quoted as saying in the Hague.
“I feel proud to represent Bangladesh to the rest of the World with my work,” he said while adding that his success will be “when no one needs to use my app and there will be no cyberbullying anymore.” (ANI)
