History edit
TIB started its activities in 1997, under founding chairman Syed Humayun Kabir.[1]
In 2016, it criticised new government rules on NGOs that received foreign funding.[2] It also asked the government to not take a 2 billion dollar development loan from the world Bank.[2] This law was created after TIB Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman called the country's Parliament a 'puppet show stage'.[3]
