Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) expresses deep concern and strong condemnation over the arrest of journalist Anis Alamgir under the Anti-Terrorism Act. In recent times, Anis Alamgir had been vocal in criticising various government policies and actions and regularly expressed dissenting views through television talk shows and other public platforms.<\/p>\n
ASK believes that the application of the Anti-Terrorism Act against a journalist constitutes a clear misuse of both the intent and scope of this law. A stringent law enacted to combat terrorism is being used to target freedom of expression and journalistic work, which runs contrary to the fundamental principles of a democratic state and represents a direct assault on the right to freedom of expression.<\/p>\n
ASK further emphasises that criticism of government policies or state actions is not a criminal offence. On the contrary, independent and critical journalism is an essential pillar of accountable governance. Arrests of this nature create fear among media professionals and set a dangerous precedent for suppressing dissenting voices.<\/p>\n
ASK strongly reiterates that freedom of expression is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution of Bangladesh. The use of harsh laws such as the Anti-Terrorism Act to curtail this right is wholly unacceptable. Any legal concerns regarding speech or publication must be addressed through transparent, fair and due legal process and arrest must not be used as a tool to silence dissent.<\/p>\n
Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) calls upon the concerned authorities to immediately withdraw the application of the Anti-Terrorism Act against journalist Anis Alamgir and to refrain from the misuse of such laws in the future to suppress dissent and undermine independent journalism.<\/p>\n
