The Online Editors Alliance has strongly condemned the reported attack, threats, and obstruction of journalists by law enforcement officers while they were performing their professional duties. In a joint statement issued on Saturday, the alliance’s president Md Hasan Sharif and general secretary Mizanur Rahman Sohel described the incident as a deliberate assault that poses a serious threat to the freedom of the press.
According to the statement, several journalists were injured and their professional equipment damaged when members of the law enforcement agencies allegedly launched a sudden attack during a protest in front of the Chief Adviser’s residence at Jamuna on Friday. The alliance leaders said that obstructing, harassing, or attacking journalists while on duty contradicts democratic values and is unacceptable, especially when carried out by those responsible for ensuring public and media safety.
The Online Editors Alliance demanded a fair and impartial investigation, identification of those involved, and their prosecution under the law. It also urged the government to take visible measures to ensure journalists’ safety during the upcoming election period and called for unity in protecting press freedom.
