Press Freedom Dynamics in Bangladesh
Chapter 7 Press Freedom Dynamics in Bangladesh Amina Khatun, Janina Islam Abir, Mofizur Rhaman & Md. Golam Rahman This chapter explores the state of freedom of expression and press freedom in Bangla- desh and how religion, in particular, influences these issues. More specifically, through content analyses of some selected newspapers and in-depth interviews with journal- ists, experts and civil society representatives, this chapter reveals the barriers to press freedom and how the politics of religion is related to press freedom and freedom of expression in the country. Past political situations, especially military rule and the struggle for democracy, have created an unstable situation for the press in Bangladesh. Moreover, religious extremism, intolerance and politics of religion jeopardize the socio-political situa- tion of the country time and again. The period from February to March 2013 was particularly decisive as the people at this time became sharply divided on the issue of International War Crimes Tribunal1 and its first verdict in the case of Abdul Quader Mollah2. Millions of people gathered at Shahbug Square3 for more than two months and stayed there day and night, chanting slogans in favour of justice for war heroes and ensuring capital punishment for war criminals. People from all walks of lives, mainstream media as well as social media, became part of the movement. There was, of course, a section of people and media who played a more subtle role and spoke out against this movement, and the media soon became a battlefield where the war was fought by different stakeholders – proponents as well as opponents of the International War Crimes Tribunal.

Interaction Between Journos Imperative, Says Indian Press Council Chair Staff Correspondent
Interaction between journos imperative, says Indian Press Council chair Staff Correspondent Members of a visiting team of the Press Council of India exchange views with senior journalists of media outlets of the East West Media Group Ltd at its conference room in the city on Wednesday.- sun photo Interaction and cooperation between journalists of India and Bangladesh are needed to overcome common professional barriers, threats and challenges, said Press Council of India Chairman Justice Chandramauli Kumar Prasad. Media coverage in a conflict zone has become a great challenge for journalists, he stated. “Journalism is going to be a risky profession in the subcontinent as they have to face different kinds of threats and challenges.” The media crew of both the friendly countries should unitedly challenge the menaces confronting them in professional duties, Justice Prasad said. The observations were made during a view-exchange meeting of a delegation of the Press Council of India with editors and senior journalists of East-West Media Group Ltd on Wednesday. The event was held in the EWMGL conference room at Bashundhara Residential Area. The visiting team of journalists, mostly editors from prominent Indian newspapers, also made a tour of the EWMGL media outlets. The visitors got fully apprised of the state of the mass media in Bangladesh. Speaking on the occasion, the Press Council chair underscored the need for more interaction and communications between the journalists of two countries. Journalists from both sides also echoed Justice Prasad’s views on the matter and voiced concern over the mounting threat of terrorism, militancy and conspiracies against their respective countries.

FACTORS THAT PUSH BANGLADESHI MEDIA TO EXERCISE SELF-CENSORSHIP by Abu Taib Ahmed A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts in Media Studies at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2020 ABSTRACT FACTORS THAT PUSH BANGLADESHI MEDIA TO EXERCISE SELF-CENSORSHIP by Abu Taib Ahmed The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2020 Under the Supervision of Professor David S. Allen Self-censorship is one of the biggest threats to press freedom. Press freedom, as well as freedom of the expression, is an indicator of a society’s freedom and democracy. If the media cannot act freely, it can impact society’s ability to function as a democracy. Journalists often face pressures from various power structures to engage in self-censorship. While journalistic self- censorship has been examined in a number of different countries, no studies of journalistic self- censorship in Bangladesh have been undertaken or no studies have been undertaken to see what factors influence journalists to exercise self-censorship or to figure out reasons that make journalists in Bangladesh filter media content.

Freemuse-Drik-PEN-International
Joint submission to the mid-term Universal Periodic Review of Bangladesh by Freemuse, Drik, and PEN International 4 December 2020 Executive summary Freemuse, Drik, and PEN International welcome the opportunity to contribute to the mid-term review of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) on Bangladesh. This submission evaluates the implementation of recommendations made in the previous UPR and assesses the Bangladeshi authorities’ compliance with international human rights obligations with respect to freedoms of expression, information and peaceful assembly, in particular concerns related to: - Digital Security Act and Information and Communication Technology Act - Limitations on freedom of religion and belief - Restrictions to the right to peaceful assembly and political engagement - Attacks on artistic freedom and academic freedom As part of the third cycle UPR process in 2018, the Government of Bangladesh accepted 178 recommendations and noted 73 out of a total 251 recommendations received. This included some aimed at guaranteeing the rights to freedom of expression, information and peaceful assembly. However, a crackdown on freedom of expression has been intensified since the review and civil society, including artists and journalists, has faced adversity from authorities. These are in violation of Bangladesh’s national and international commitments to artistic freedom, specifically the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights which were ratified by the authorities in 2000 and 1998, respectively. This UPR mid-term review was compiled based on information from Freemuse, Drik and PEN International. 1 SECTION A Digital Security Act: a threat to freedom of expression Third Cycle UPR Recommendations The Government of Bangladesh accepted recommendations 147.67, 147.69, 147.70, 148.3, 148.13, 148.14, and 148.15 concerning the Information and Communication Technology Act and Digital Security Act.

Human Rights Monitoring Report on Bangladesh
Human Rights Monitoring Report on Bangladesh Reporting Period: 1 – 31 July 2018 Prepared by Odhikar Date of Release: 1 August 2018 1 Odhikar has, since 1994, been monitoring the human rights situation in Bangladesh in order to promote and protect civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of Bangladeshi citizens and to report on violations and defend the victims. Odhikar does not believe that the human rights movement merely endeavours to protect the „individual‟ from violations perpetrated by the state; rather, it believes that the movement to establish the rights and dignity of every individual is part of the struggle to constitute Bangladesh as a democratic state. Odhikar has always been consistent in creating mass awareness of human rights issues using several means, including reporting violations perpetrated by the State and advocacy and campaign to ensure internationally recognised civil and political rights of citizens. The Organisation unconditionally stands by the victims of oppression and maintains no prejudice with regard to political leanings or ideological orientation, race, religion or sex. In line with this campaign, Odhikar prepares and releases human rights status reports every month. The Organisation has prepared and disseminated this human rights monitoring report of July 2018, despite facing persecution and continuous harassment and threats to its existence since 2013. Although many incidents of human rights violations occur every month, only a few significant incidents have been highlighted in this report. Information used in the report was gathered by grassroots human rights defenders associated with Odhikar and also collected from the national dailies. 2 Contents Statistics of Human Rights Violations: January-July 2018 .............................................................
