Actors Equity Bangladesh, headed by President Shahiduzzaman Selim and General Secretary Ahsan Habib Nasim, issued a statement criticising the arrest of Prothom Alo journalist Rozina Islam yesterday.
The statement said, “Where our honourable Prime Minister herself is strongly against the corruption, these actions by public servants are not acceptable at all. We are angry and shocked at the mental and physical harassment of Rozina Islam.” The statement further said that a ministry is supposed to be the safest place in the country, and such events are shocking and shameful.
The Actors Equity demanded immediate release of Rozina Islam and exemplary punishment by whom she
was harassed.
Rozina Islam, known for unearthing government corruption, was charged under the Official Secrets act on Monday,
for ‘stealing’ ministry documents.
