Call to restore publication of Amar Desh
Journalists formed a human chain in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the city yesterday demanding immediate release of the daily's Acting Editor Mahmudur Rahman and restoration of its publication.
They said by putting journalists on the street the government intends to portray Bangladesh as a failed nation to the world, says a press release.
They warned that journalists would keep to the streets unless the daily Amar Desh, Channel 1 and Jamuna Television resume operations.
Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) Amar Desh unit chief Basir Jamal chaired the programme.
Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists Secretary General MA Aziz, DUJ President Abdus Shahid, Secretary Baker Hussain, poet Abdul Hai Shikdar and Bangladesh Photojournalist Association Secretary Mir Ahmed also spoke at the demonstration.
