Dear Prime Minister,I am William Gomes, human rights activist and journalist. Journalists in

Bangladesh are frequently subjected to physical assault, harassment, andintimidation as the country has been wracked by political and criminal violence.Freedom of expression is the mother to all other freedoms. For a democraticgovernment it is essential to maintain a media for promoting respect for differencesof opinions and discussion, free from any kind of censorship which can fulfill itswatchdog function.By the years Bangladeshi news media played a brave and praiseworthy role inupholding democratic values in the country whether it was during the time ofillegal army regimes or autocratic democratic regime. Journalists are in battle fordemocracy while the government has declared war against media.I am deeply concern about the ongoing suppression of speech or other publiccommunication, raises issues of freedom of speech, suppression on media evenafter the landslide win of Bangladesh Awami League which has formed the presentgovernment with overwhelming support given by the people of Bangladesh after

the last election. A range of restrictive laws and violence against journalistscontinue to hamper media freedom and undermining the democracy.Bangladesh is still far from being free which brings us near to the point thatdemocracy in Bangladesh still has many challenges to overcome where thechallenge of media freedom is a vital factor.Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Your government has a record of not toleratingcriticism from the media.I am concern about the pressure placed on news organizations by the weak rule oflaw and the perceived lack of judicial independence in Bangladesh.I recall the impunity in the crimes against journalists and judicial harassment of

journalists in connection with their reporting are two of the most serious threats tomedia freedom and investigative journalism in Bangladesh.Bangladesh already has an appalling record for unsolved journalist murders, 11thworst in the world, according to CPJ's 2011 Impunity Index.I am noting some of glimps of attack on media and media personals the notablefacts during the time of your office:In March 2009, the video-sharing web site YouTube has been blocked by yourgovernment after a recording of a meeting between you and army officers was

posted.

In October 2009, F.M. Masum, a journalist employed by the English-languagedaily "The New Age", who was arrested and tortured by an elite crime and counter-terrorist force, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB).In March 2010, a photo exhibit about extrajudicial executions "Crossfire," byShahidul Alam, features photographs and installations relating to allegedextrajudicial killings by the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), was forcefully closed

by police. Although your government had lift the ban on the Drik gallery's"Crossfire" exhibition, When the high court convened on 31 March 2010 to heargallery owner Shahidul Alam's appeal against the closure.On April 2010, privately-owned Channel 1 TV station, which has been

broadcasting for four years. The closure was announced on 27 April byCommunications Minister Raziuddin Ahmed Raju, who said it was because the

station had violated the 2001 Telecommunications Act by using broadcastequipment as collateral for loans.In May 2010, access to Facebook had blocked in Bangladesh on 29 May 2010 ,reportedly as a result of both the posting of Mohammed cartoons and "shocking"satirical images of prominent politicians, including Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina,and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the country's first president.In June 2010, The Dhaka office of Bangladesh's Amar Desh newspaper wasstormed by police on Wednesday, just hours after Dhaka's deputy commissioner,Muhibul Haque, ordered its publishing license suspended. Police also arrestedacting editor Mahmudur Rahman on fraud charges.In June 2010, charge of sedition had been brought against Mahmudur Rahman, thechief editor of the opposition daily "Amar Desh. In the space of a few days,Rahman has been accused of fraud, obstructing the police, printing an outlawedgroup's posters and then sedition. Mahmudur Rahman became the victim of

political persecution and this case marks a tragic return to the old anti-democraticpractice of harassing leading opposition figures.In June 2010, Mahmudur Rahman, the chief editor of the opposition daily "AmarDesh on the open court said "Your honour, please save my life," The editor wasquoted by local media as telling the court. "I am not supposed to be alive after thelevel of torture I have experienced at the cantonment police station. I was

blindfolded and stripped by five men in the lock-up. I fainted after they pressed meon the chest and back."The editor was he was tortured in police custody.In August 2010, Amar Desh newspaper editor and former politician MahmudurRahman was sentenced to six months in prison for publishing an article thataccused the Supreme Court of bias towards the state. On 17 March 2011,Mahmudur Rahman was released on completion of an arbitrary jail sentence forcontempt of court. He was held for a total of nine months and 17 days.In January 2011, rulling party activists filed a false murder case against Farook

Nawaz Khan, staff reporter of the daily Bhorer Kagoj with Chunarughat Thana,Habiganj. To avoid arrestation and tortured by police he left Bangladesh. Hisfamily is also under threat by rulling party activists.In June 2011, Five journalists were injured in violence by ruling party supporterson 5 June 2011 in the town of Comilla, 100 km southest of Dhaka; two of them

Abul Kashem Hridoy, the Comilla correspondent of Channel-i TV and theBdnews24.com news agency, Pradip Dey, a cameraman with BangladeshTelevision (BTV) were hospitalized.Two days before that, four journalists on 3 June were Prothom Alo correspondentTouhidi Hossain (Towhidi Hasan), RTV correspondent Shiekh Hossain Belal,Ekushey Television correspondent Zahurul Islam and Ekushey Televisioncameraman Ahmed Sajeeb were attacked and injured by the employees of acompany that is restoring a cultural site in the western district of Kushtia. Thesupporters of the ruling Awami League have no respect for the democratic processor for journalists.

In July 2011, In Narail, Moshiul Haque Mitu, 48, president of the Kalia Press Cluband a Kalia upazila-based correspondent for the "Somokal" daily, suffered serious

injuries after criminals threw bombs into his bedroom, on the morning of 11 July2011. His wife, Rina Parvin, was also critically injured. They were taken to KhulnaMedical College and Hospital and later transferred to the Dhaka Pongu Hospital.In the same month, in a separate incident in the northern district of Rangpur, a gangin Kashiganj village, Badarganj upazila, attacked the Rangpur-based correspondentfor Ekushey Television (ETV), Liakat Ali Badal, leaving him seriously injured.The incident took place on 11 July when Badal went to the village, along with ETVstaff reporter Johnson Mahbub, to cover a story about the torture of two women.Imran Hossain, correspondent for the Rajshahi-based daily "Sonar Desh" in Tanoreupazila, is in hiding in order to avoid arrest following an extortion case filed againsthim. Police ransacked his home and assaulted his wife.In August 2011, Ekramul Haq, founder and editor of the Bengali-languageSheershanews Web site and Sheersha Kagoj weekly was arrested by police allegingthat the editor was trying to extort 2 million taka (US$26,800) from him for

suppressing. The arrest was part of a harassment campaign in retaliation for Haq'sreporting on government corruption. The government cancelled media accreditationfor the outlets' 10 journalists, including Haq. He was tortured in police remand andwhile I am writing to you he is still in prison and the news media was forced toclose.In September 2011, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) reportedly assaulted twomembers of the staff of the Bangla Vision TV channel in a neighbourhood of thecapital city Dhaka, on September 12.Cameraman Russel Mizan and broadcast engineer Hasanul Islam Raihan wasadmitted to hospital for emergency medical attention.Bangladesh Television (BTV) work as mouthpiece of the government, regardless ofwhich party is in power. Presently BTV is functioning as propaganda tool of theruling Awami League government and highly controlled by the government andlacks professional standards.Dear Prime Minister, I want to draw your attention although Bangladesh'sconstitution guarantees freedom of the press, it defines this freedom as "subject toany reasonable restrictions imposed by law in the interests of the security of theState, friendly relations with foreign states, public order, decency or morality.Which is also often used a profound ground to suppress and oppress the

information from the media and stopped the media to freely publicize theinformation .Basil Fernando: Director for Policy and Programme Development of Asian HumanRights Commission commenting on the present situations of Bangladeshi mediafreedom said For a democratic government it is essential to facilitate a free

platform of discussion and one of the important instruments of that platform is afree media, which is free from censorship. A free media signifies the right of freespeech and promoting respect for differences of opinions in public discussion.Without a free media a democracy is blind, deaf and dumb which are lead towardsviolence not justice and peace. The Bangladesh government has totally lost the

characteristic of democratic government.I want to recall what eminent human rights personality said Bangladesh
