The interim government and the military put an end to political disorder but at the price of serious violations of press freedom.” [Read the full report HERE]

In probably a first of its kind, we can now have a window into what happens when DGFI “picks someone up”. If this is not torture, what is?
Is this the human rights that our civil society gets paid to work on? How come not ONE local so called “human rights” organizations took this story public and where was our democratic cheerleaders?
It was expremely brave for Tasneem to have spoken out this way. We now know the reality of what happens in our Armed Forces and DGFI.
Shame on those who support these groups.
Please read full report on E-bangladesh.
