💨 Abstract

On World Press Freedom Day, journalist Golam Rahman of Ajker Patrika voiced concerns about media independence in Bangladesh, citing growing censorship and lack of transparency following a political shift in 2024. He described a pattern of editorial reshuffles and arrests as a "silent crisis." Over two dozen outlets changed leadership, journalists faced arrests, and some had their accreditation cards canceled.
