In a statement today on Thursday, the President of the organization Syed Shukur Ali Shuvo and general secretary Mohi Uddin said that the trial of murder of all journalists, including Sagar-Runi’s murder, which has been pending for a long time, must be completed very quickly.

They also emphasized that capitalizing on the ongoing volatile situation and attacking the media is not acceptable. The leaders called upon the law enforcers to bring the perpetrators of attacks and fires in media offices under the law.

Seeking everyone’s cooperation, the leaders said that the media is no one’s opponent and that the job of the media is to present the news of all parties to the masses.
