Journalism is becoming difficult in Bangladesh: TIB

Dhaka, Aug 10 (UNI) TIB does not consider the recent series of attacks on journalists while collecting news of irregularities and corruption in Bangladesh as an isolated incident. The anti-corruption organization said, these incidents are a continuation of the trend of suppressing the voice of the media through abuse of power, assault-cases and lack of justice. TIB also feels that journalism is becoming difficult in the country.

In a statement issued today on Wednesday, TIB said that some steps were taken immediately in the case of attacks on journalists. But in practical sense, in most cases, the trial does not end. Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) demanded strict punishment of the culprits in every case through an immediate and fair investigation. They also demanded a special law for the protection of journalists.
