I've moved a sentence here from the article's "Corruption" section. It is objectionable to have a legal system where a journalist can be convicted of contempt of court for criticising the government, but that isn't an example of police corruption.

Journalists have been detained and sent to prison for publishing criticism of the ruling Awami League government, including the editor of the Amar Desh newspaper Mahmudur Rahman, who was sentenced to prison, where he spent more than nine months for publishing an anti-government story.^[1]^[2]^[3]
