Hundreds Protest After Bangladesh Arrests Journalist Under Official Secrets Act

BenarNews Hundreds of reporters demanded the release of a veteran journalist who was formally arrested Tuesday under the Official Secrets Act, on suspicion of photographing without permission documents related to the government’s purchase of COVID-19 vaccines from China and Russia. Health Minister Zahid Maleque said the documents for the vaccine deals had non-disclosure clauses, but a lawyer for arrested journalist Rozina Islam accused the ministry of targeting her because of her recent reports that exposed alleged graft in the public health system. “The [health] ministry officials filed the case against Rozina to get revenge as she wrote several reports on the corruption of the ministry officials,” said Ehsanul Haque Somaji, the attorney for Islam and her employer, Prothom Alo, one of Bangladesh’s most popular daily newspapers.
