Bangladesh gives itself a free hand
Remember last year when we heard that Tasneem Khalil had been arrested in the middle of the night? Well now we know what happened to him while he was held. He was violently beaten, threatened, and terrorized, that’s what. He’s safe now – but Bangladesh has successfully gotten rid of a reporter who had been investigating human rights abuses of just the kind perpetrated on him. So Bangladesh can presumably do what it likes without any pesky reporters telling the world what Bangladesh likes to do – not unless those pesky reporters are eager to be beaten up and probably killed.
I got forwarded a couple of hours ago and was going to raise it.
Tasneem needs support. He may be personally ‘safe’ but there are very explicit threats to his family if he speaks out.
The guy has huge integrity and courage, but what do you do when your family is the price?
Bastards.
The bruising on Tasneem Khalil’s lower back looks so utterly excruciating. The monstrous beings that inflicted this torture on the young journalist should be ashamed of themselves. The Bangladeshi police should by the human rights commission be reported. They should be held accountable for this atrocity.
