Star report in GIJN’s top 8 from Bangladesh
An investigative report of The Daily Star made the list of Global Investigative Journalism Network's top eight "Best Investigative Stories in 2022" from Bangladesh.
Published on August 26, the report by Shaheen Mollah and Muntakim Saad titled "A family forced into never-ending distress" digs into the tale of one family that the paper reports suffered at the hands of Rapid Action Battalion.
GIJN also mentions another DS story titled "Bike accident turned into an extortion case" -- published on July 25 -- that describes how a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old from the same family were falsely implicated in an extortion case by the same Rab unit.
Apart from The Daily Star report, the other reports listed by GIJN are The Business Standard's "Cyber slaves in Cambodia", Independent Television's "Factory of fake doctors", the daily Prothom Alo's "Sand, land, and power" and "83,000 prisoners, 4 doctors," the daily Samakal's "Tough questions on an energy deal," Jamuna Television's "Tea garden in a protected forest", and Channel 24's "The brain game".
