Will continue journalism, says a determined Rozina

Just out of jail on bail, Prothom Alo Senior Correspondent Rozina Islam articulated her determination to continue journalism despite all odds.

"I will most certainly continue working as a journalist," Rozina told reporters after coming out of Kashimpur Central Women's Jail this afternoon.

She expressed her gratitude to all including fellow journalists for standing by her and becoming vocal for her release after she was confined at health ministry and later handed over to police on Monday.

She walked out of jail this afternoon, seven days after she was arrested in a case filed by the health ministry.

Earlier in the morning, Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Baki Billah granted her bail on a bond of Tk 5,000 with two guarantors -- one of whom must be a lawyer, and the other a legal guardian.

She was also granted bail on condition of submitting her passport.
