A Dhaka court yesterday sent Prothom Alo journalist Rozina Islam to jail, as protests raged on across the country demanding her immediate release.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Jashim, however, rejected police's petition to take the senior reporter on a five-day remand in a case filed under several sections of Official Secrets act and the penal code.
