According to media reports, journalists were targeted in a shooting incident in Khulna. Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) expresses its deep concern over the incident and strongly condemns the attack.<\/p>\n
According to the reports, at around 12:00 midnight on 14 July 2026, several journalists were gathered near the United Nations Shishu Park in Khulna city after completing their professional duties when armed assailants arrived on motorcycles and opened fire at them. One journalist sustained injuries from bullet splinters. The incident has raised serious concerns regarding the safety of journalists and the environment in which they are expected to carry out their professional responsibilities freely and independently.<\/p>\n
ASK believes that such attacks against journalists are not only an assault on their lives and personal security but also a direct attack on freedom of expression, press freedom and the public’s right to information. Any attempt to intimidate journalists or obstruct them from carrying out their professional responsibilities through violence is contrary to democratic values and fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n
ASK further believes that ensuring the safety of journalists and enabling them to carry out their professional responsibilities free from fear, intimidation and harassment is part of the State’s constitutional and international human rights obligations. Article 39 of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh guarantees freedom of thought and expression and freedom of the press. Ensuring the safety of journalists is essential for the effective implementation of these constitutional guarantees. Furthermore, Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) obliges the State to take effective measures to protect the right to freedom of expression.<\/p>\n
ASK calls upon the relevant authorities to immediately conduct a prompt, impartial and effective investigation into the incident, swiftly identify those responsible and bring them to justice. ASK also urges the authorities to take effective measures to ensure the safety of journalists and to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future.<\/p>\n
