Former colleague passes away

Quader
We were saddened to hear of the death of our former colleague Quader Mahmud.
Quader was for many years a Caseworker and community worker for our Immigration Team. A dedicated and passionate defender of his clients’ rights, he never shied away from taking on difficult cases. In particular, he was instrumental in championing the rights of individuals forced into situations where they had to prove their entitlement to British nationality. 
He was also a poet, author and ex-journalist, and had many of his books published.  He leaves behind two daughters and a son. 
All his former colleagues at Tower Hamlets Law Centre remember Quader fondly and we send our deepest sympathy to his family
