Bangladeshi reporter arrested and publisher sued in growing crackdown on government's critics
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls for the immediate release of a reporter for Bangladesh’s leading daily newspaper, who is facing a possible 14-year jail sentence on spurious charges in reprisal for his reporting, while his newspaper’s editor and publisher is himself being prosecuted on the same charges. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina must end her government’s increasingly authoritarian response to criticism in the media, RSF says.
