Tribute To Mahmudur Rahman (#FreeMahmudurRahman)

I have been inactive for some time. I am writing this post to pay a belated tribute to Mahmudur Rahman, the editor of the disbanded newspaper Amar Desh. He was the one of many victims of Shahbag. Indeed it was his brave stance in the midst of mass hysteria, that he paid the price of imprisonment, but which ultimately destroyed the ultra secular Shahbagi Islamophobes.

His arrest was the beginning of the end of free press in Bangladesh, followed by Diganta TV, after the massacre at Shapla Square.

No opposition media outlet currently exist in Bangladesh.
