Newsmen protest death threat to fellow

Journalists held a programme on Shaheed Minar Road in Habiganj’s Baniachong upazila yesterday demanding immediate arrest of the culprit who gave death threat to a local newsman.

“Alongside giving death threats, the perpetrators sent shrouds to me,” said Imdadul Hossain Khan, Habiganj district correspondent of the Daily Tribunal, also general secretary of Baniachong Press Club.

He lodged a general diary with Baniachong Police Station on Tuesday seeking security of life, said Ranjan Kumar Samonto, officer in charge of the police station.

A good number of people including journalists of electronic and print media and leaders of political and social organizations joined yesterday’s protest programme presided over by senior journalist Angur Mia.
