WASHINGTON, May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders of the National Press Club and the National Press Club Journalism Institute condemned this week's arrest of Bangladeshi journalist Rozina Islam and urged the court that is scheduled to hear her case on Thursday to release her. 
 Islam's arrest "threatens the very existence of the press" in their country.
An investigative reporter for the daily newspaper Prothom Alo, Islam could face 14 years in prison or the death penalty under the terms of the colonial-era law used to detain her, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Her editor told CPJ that he believes Islam's arrest came in retaliation for her reporting on alleged corruption and mismanagement in Bangladesh's health sector during the coronavirus pandemic.
