Amar Desh

edit

Controversy

edit

Amar Desh has had frequent run ins with the ruling Awami League government since it came to power in 2009 and the Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a UK human rights group said Mahmudur Rahman was the target of "ongoing judicial harassment."[24][25] Later, protesters began to demand Mahmudur Rahman's arrest.[26]

In an interview with Daily Prime News, Mahmudur said, "... whenever the Awami League came to power it tried its best to gag the voice of media. After the country’s independence, during 1972-75 period, the AL kept only four newspapers as its mouthpiece for the party campaign closing publication of all newspapers. This is the basic characteristics of the AL and at that time all eminent editors had to go to jail. For instance Enayetullah Khan, Irfanul Bari, Al Mahmud, Aftab Ahmed – all had to go to jail."[27]

  • In January 2010, Amar Desh was sued for defamation by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Energy Minister Tawfik-e-Elahi Chowdhury. Chowdury was reacting to a story published in Amar Desh in December that allegedly tied him to bribes from Cheveron. In all, various Awami League members filed 20 defamation charges against Amar Desh based on a 2009 article.[28][29][30]
  • In June 2010, Mahmudur Rahman was arrested. At that time Reporters Without Borders issued the following statement: "The Awami League government is clearly unable to tolerate criticism from this opposition newspaper and, in particular, its coverage of the controversial award of energy contracts to foreign companies. Rahman was an advisor in these matters in the last BNP government and his revelations are damaging for the government."[31]
  • On 1 June 2010, after 100-200 Bangladesh Police had surrounded the Amar Desh office for a day, police arrested its editor Mahmudur Rahman in the offices the next morning at 4 a.m. Rahman has edited the newspaper since 2008. Rahman said the publisher had been kidnapped by Bangladesh's National Security Intelligence and was released only after signing 2 blank papers. Journalist Syed Abdal Ahmed said the government had stopped the current issue that had already been printed from being delivered.[31][32][33][34]
  • The leaders of around 25 newspapers signed a letter which demanded that the ban on Amar Desh be rescinded.[35]
  • According to a statement issued by Rahman's lawyers, he was tortured by police on 9 June 2010, at the Cantonment Police Station where he was stripped and beaten until he was unconscious. When he was facing new charges in 2013, a representative from Amnesty International said, "Everyone, including Mahmudur Rahman, has the right to freedom of opinion and to seek, receive and impart information through any media. He has been previously detained and tortured for publishing articles in the public’s interest."[36][37]
  • June 2010: The Awami League government filed charges of sedition against Amar Desh editor Mahmudur Rahman.[38]
  • After a legal battle that went from the High Court and then to the Appeals Division, the courts both found in favor of Amar Desh and denied the government's case, which allowed for the newspaper's republication.[39]
  • In August 2010, Mahmudur Rahman became the first citizen of Bangladesh ever to be sentenced for contempt by the Supreme Court of Bangladesh, which came with a six month prison term. Both the United Kingdom and the United States expressed diplomatic concerns about the legal development with the Awami League led government, of which Rahman had been a vocal political opponent. The court ruled that its reputation had been damaged by a report that said its rulings favored the Awami League government in power.[40]
  • 17 March 2011, after serving 9 and a half months in the Gazipur district prison, Mahmudur Rahman was released and received by supporters.[41]
  • December 2012, Amar Desh began publishing leaked Skype conversations from 9 December to 13 December between Justice Mohammed_Nizamul_Huq, the head judge for Bangladesh's International Criminal Court in Dhaka, and Ahmed Ziauddin, a lawyer in Brussels. As a result of the content in the leaked Skype conversations, Huq resigned from his post at the ICC 11 December. The New Age reported that Amar Desh published the materials until the court ruled that they should be held from public consumption.[42][43]

The court took a number of steps to suppress any further publication of the Skype call materials between Huq and Ziauddin.[46]

  • On Saturday, 23 February, Bangladesh Police made five charges against Amar Desh editor Mahmudur Rahman for inciting conservative muslims.[47]
  • On 26 February Shabagh protesters took their demands that Amar Desh editor Mahmudur Rahman be charged with sedition. They were led by a blogger Imran H Sarkar, who was a former leader of an Awami League student group named Chhatra League. Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir, the Home Minister who was also representing the Awami League, assured the crowd that the government would again bring charges against and he also believed Rahman should be arrested and charged. At that time, Bangladesh Police were charging Rahman for inciting religious violence for his negative articles about the bloggers.[24][48][49]
  • Amar Desh and BNP part ways on India policy.[51]
