Protest against 'harassment' of two female journos

Shamajik Protirodh Committee, an alliance of 64 NGOs, condemned the incident of “harassing” two female journalists by the Islami Ain Bastabayan Committee on April 8.
Reporter of ATN Bangla and ATN News Shahana Begum and Reporter of Mohona Television Tamanna Farzana Khan went to cover the meeting of the Islami Ain Bastabayan Committee (Islami Law Implementation Committee) in Jessore.
But the organisers forced them to leave the place just for being female journalists, said a statement signed by the leaders of the alliance.
Shamajik Protirodh Committee was informed that the organisers and activists of the Bastabayan committee even shouted: “No woman can stay at the meeting of the Islami Ain Bastabayan Committee. Get them out.'
Protesting such act, leaders of the Protirodh committee said that the incident was not only offensive; it hindered the women to perform their professional duties.
