Dulal Mia, Sunamganj

While gathering news in Sunamganj court premises, a human chain was held to protest the killing of daily Sunamkantha’s staff reporter and RTV journalist Shahidnoor Ahmed by Salman, the accused in the murder of schoolgirl Rajna, and to demand justice for Rajna’s murder.  Journalists of the local media ‘Dainik Sunamkantha’ carried out this human chain program at the traffic point of Sunamganj city on Saturday afternoon.  Journalists said in the human chain organized by journalist Rajan Chandr that attacks on journalists nationwide have increased at an alarming rate.  Which threatens the professional duties of journalists.

These criminal activities are increasing day by day due to the non-trial of torture of journalists across the country.

The speakers said that the schoolgirl brutally killed Rajna and left her body in a bag.  The police have found the involvement of his own cousin Salman Mia in this mysterious murder.  Threatening to kill a journalist collecting news in the court premises while the criminal is being produced in the court is gross incitement and disobedience to the law.  Journalists demanded exemplary punishment of Salman Mia involved in killing of schoolgirl Rajna as well as investigation of threat to journalist Shahid Noor.

Among others, editor and publisher of ‘Dainik Sunamkantha’ Bijan Sen Roy, 71 Television correspondent Shams Shamim, senior journalist Shamchul Qadir Misbah, Bhorer paper correspondent Sajjad Hossain, Jayanta Sen, Habibullah Helali, Abdullah Al Mamun, Shankar Dutta etc. spoke.  Incidentally Shantiganj Thana police arrested the cousin Salman Mia who was involved in the murder of schoolgirl Rajna on Friday and brought him to the court.  Afkhut Salman came repeatedly towards the journalist Shahidnoor while filming the footage in the court premises.  Meanwhile, the journalist threatened to kill Shahid Noor.  This journalist has been collecting news in Sarzmin since the murder of schoolgirl Rajna.  So the accused killer Salman Mia got angry while taking the footage.
