Annual Report on Bangladesh by Reporters Without Borders

posted in E-Bangladesh, Fakruddin & Co. |

Reporters Without Borders LoggoReporters Without Borders has released their 2008 Annual Report on Bangladesh. Among their major concerns this year are the rise of the military government, the lack of freedom of press, threats to media personnel and the torture of journalists:

“A drop in the number of physical assaults and death threats was eclipsed by dozens of cases of arrests, maltreatment and censorship committed by the army against independent journalists. 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]

    1/11 is overexposed? Or designed imposed?

    Point of view might be difference but focus shouldn’t be misguided.
    Many people might support pre-1/11 some might be post 1/11, but we can’t blame some one wrong only on base that’s he/she support PRE not POST.
    Now this is not question of fashion talk now it is serious issue of our and next generation future.
    Comments should be on ground reality.
    The ground reality is none of any class or community is satisfied with post 1/11, including ruling government servants even military. More interesting part of post 1/11 is low moral of ruling government u name it caretaker or army. Only this is logical reason why still emergency in Bangladesh. Already Bangladesh now world record holder for longest emergency.

    Yes I agreed pre 1/11 situation wasn’t appreciable. And all community was unsatisfied for 15 days in whole. Except this fifteen day at least 50% of people was happy (which ever if compare today then 100% was happy) since 1991 -2006 DEC 65-80% from all community, Business man, government servants, privet service holder, rikshawpooler, journalist, ALL community had there represent in happy/satisfied share, people was happy on avg 70% which is less then 1% now.

    Before support/comment or spare the opinion please judge the ground reality. Hypothetical theory only allowed for who has deep knowledge of subject. This is strictly followed all over the world. In Bangladesh and especially non resident Bangladeshi practice is much lightly. It might damage badly our good intention and wishes.
