Ep 20: Farid Ahmad: Pt 2 – On stubbornness, justice, and principle
from Christchurch Invitation · host Mahia te Aroha
Farid Ahmed’s name became very widely known when his wife, Husna, was killed in the Christchurch mosque attacks in March 2019 and he forgave the killer. In Episode 18 of these podcasts we spoke about his upbringing in Sylhet, Bangladesh; witnessing his father’s role as something akin to a village magistrate; and of what became, for Farid, a kind of practical education in disagreement, conflict, and the pathways through this. Here he speaks further about his sometimes stubborn understandings of justice and principle, even from a very young age.
