The Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) has raised serious concerns over a case filed against journalist Sagar Chowdhury, who reported on corruption and irregularities in Bhola’s courts. DUJ leaders emphasized that such lawsuits hinder independent journalism and urged authorities to withdraw the case immediately. They noted that anyone dissatisfied with a news report can respond or file a complaint with the Press Council, but taking direct legal action against journalists is unacceptable and undermines press freedom.
