Ms Siddiq is the niece of the authoritarian prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, who introduced a controversial quota system for government jobs.Ms Siddiq made a name for herself campaigning for the release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe from Iran, but was criticised for staying silent on human rights abuses in Bangladesh.
