Human Rights Watch (HRW) on May 8 urged the Bangladesh Government to withdraw charges against journalists and a cartoonist, reports New Age.It also demanded that their release and repeal of the Digital Security Act.Brad Adams, Asia Director of Human Rights Watch said “It is only an insecure and authoritarian government that uses a pandemic to arrest cartoonists, journalists, and activists. Instead of filing cases that could result in life imprisonment simply for posting satire, the ruling Awami League should take note of the criticism and try to address any gaps in the government’s response to COVID-19. The government should stop harassing journalists, activists, doctors, and nurses for voicing concern and instead address the urgent need for aid, transparency, and resources that have them raising the alarm in the first place.”Bangladesh Government have arrested four people and charged seven others for ‘spreading rumours and misinformation on Facebook,’ because they criticised the Government’s response to COVID-19.Ahmed Kabir Kishore, a cartoonist; Mushtaq Ahmed, a writer and activist; Didarul Bhuiyan, an activist; and Minhaz Mannan Emon, director of the Dhaka Stock Exchange, are in custody.The others facing charges are journalists Tasneem Khalil and Shahed Alam, blogger Asif Mohiuddin and activists Saer Zulkarnain, Ashiq Imran, Philipp Schumacher, and Swapan Wahed — all of whom live outside Bangladesh. The authorities also brought charges against 5 or 6 ‘unnamed’ individuals.The Digital Security Act has been repeatedly criticized by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the United States, the European Union, journalists in Bangladesh, and many others for violating Bangladesh’s commitments under international law.
