PRESS STATEMENT Arrests, Beatings and Dismissals Of
PRESS STATEMENT Arrests, Beatings and Dismissals of Journalists Underline Official and Corporate Arbitrariness: SAMDEN New Delhi, May 26, 2020 – The South Asia Media Defenders Network (SAMDEN) today cited detention of media professionals in Bangladesh, attacks on journalists in the Punjab, and the dismissal of a pregnant reporter in Assam state as part of a pattern of official and corporate arbitrariness against media in the region. In Bangladesh, SAMDEN noted that the government of Sheikh Hasina Wajed has used the controversial Digital Security Act (DSA), passed in 2018 amid opposition from national, international media and rights groups, to arrest or charge at least 20 journalists over the past month. In one case, a senior journalist vanished in March after a politician from the governing Awami League party filed a criminal defamation case against him. The reporter mysteriously turned up at the India-Bangladesh border nearly two months later and was slapped with three cases under the DSA while senior editor, Matiur Rahman Choudhury of Manabzamin also is accused in the case. SAMDEN underlining the spate of cases against journalists and media professionals, regards this as a clear and present danger to freedom of the media there and calls on the Sheikh Hasina government to free the arrested journalists, respect media rights and freedom and urges media associations worldwide to come out in support of the beleaguered media. “During a pandemic, a jail is the last place for a person to be, especially media professionals who are most needed at this time to provide factual, independent critical information to the public and to government as well as fearless reporting,” the Network said in a statement. -

PRESSE REVIEW Official visit of German Federal President in Bangladesh 28 – 30 November 2011 Bangladesh News 24, Bangladesch Thursday, 29 November 2011 Berlin, Dhaka friends: Wulff Dhaka, Nov 29 (bdnews24.com) – Germany is a trusted friend of Bangladesh and there is ample scope of cooperation between the two countries, German president Christian Wulff has said. Speaking at a dinner party hosted by president Zillur Rahman in his honour at Bangabhaban on Tuesday, the German president underlined Bangladesh's valuable contribution to the peacekeeping force. "Bangladesh has been one of the biggest contributors to the peacekeeping force to make the world a better place." Prime minister Sheikh Hasina, speaker Abdul Hamid, deputy speaker Shawkat Ali Khan, ministers and high officials attended the dinner. Wulff said bilateral trade between the two countries is on the rise. On climate change, he said Bangladesh should bring its case before the world more forcefully. http://bdnews24.com/details.php?id=212479&cid=2 [02.12.2011] Bangladesh News 24, Bangladesch Thursday, 29 November 2011 'Bangladesh democracy a role model' Bangladesh can be a role model for democracy in the Arab world, feels German president. "You should not mix religion with power. Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and other countries are now facing the problem," Christian Wulff said at a programme at the Dhaka University. The voter turnout during polls in Bangladesh is also very 'impressive', according to him. The president came to Dhaka on a three-day trip on Monday. SECULAR BANGLADESH He said Bangladesh is a secular state, as minority communities are not pushed to the brink or out of the society here. -

Report on the Commonwealth and Challenges to Media Freedom In
The Commonwealth and Challenges to Media Freedom in South Asia Senate House Panel Discussion, 1 March 2017, 18.00-20.00 Panel discussants: Sanjoy Hazarika, Executive Director, CHRI; Mahfuz Anam, Editor, Daily Star, Bangladesh; Aftab Siddiqui, The News and the Express Tribune, Pakistan David Page, Institute of Commonwealth Studies Chair: Rita Payne, President Emeritus, Commonwealth Journalists Association Sue Onslow of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies welcomed the audience and introduced Rita Payne, the chair of the panel of the evening’s discussion. Rita Payne began by saying that this is a dangerous time to be a journalist. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 71 journalists were killed in relation to their work in 2015 and 48 in 2016. Journalists were caught between perpetrators of terrorism on the one hand and the heavy hand of government on the other. Of 199 journalists imprisoned in 2015, more than half were jailed on anti-state charges. The former Sunday Times editor, Harold Evans had said that the rise of fake news, attacks on the media by the administration of Donald Trump and bad behaviour by some parts of the press have created a uniquely perilous time for journalism. Rita said that in many Commonwealth countries, it appears to be open season to attack the messenger when people do not like the message. In South Asia, threats to journalists had been increasing almost everywhere. In India, journalists had been victimised for exposing corruption or reporting on sectarian attacks. In Pakistan, journalists and bloggers had been killed, abducted or threatened. Bangladesh has become a dangerous place for anyone who dares to cross an invisible line set by Islamic extremists. -
