Bangladeshi Military Government Obstructs Free Media
When Bangladeshi newspaper New Age was planning on publishing certain photographs, they were gently 'reminded' by the government that they should not be doing that. Related Links When New Age was going to press on Wednesday evening, we had in our possession photographs of top-brass BNP leaders, including standing committee member Mahbubur Rahman, being assaulted by activists of their own party. While we at New Age strongly believe that – in the spirit of freedom of the press and our readers' right to information – we are committed to bring those photographs to our readers, a number of our journalists were repeatedly 'reminded', however courteously, that Mahbub after all is a former army chief and publishing photographs of him being assaulted may not go down well with his former charges. Living in these times of 'reminders' and their untold consequences as they are, we, therefore, sincerely apologise to our readers for our inability to publish those photographs, and hence absconding, even if momentarily, in our responsibility to bring to you the whole truth in its full, graphic manifestation.
