Six journalists are facing legal action, prompting demands for the case to be dropped by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). State Minister Mir Shahe Alam has expressed regret over the arrests, stating he did not issue instructions to file the case against the reporters. The minister’s statement suggests a potential disconnect between his office and the legal proceedings. The nature of the charges against the journalists has not been detailed in this report. This incident raises concerns about press freedom and potential government pressure on the media. The CPJ is advocating for the immediate withdrawal of the case to ensure journalists can report without fear of reprisal. Further investigation is needed to determine who initiated the legal action.
