Editors Council voices concerns over media freedom

The Editors Council on Tuesday raised concerns regarding media freedom in Bangladesh, stating that the freedom of the press remains under threat.
Despite recent supportive statements from various sectors of the interim government, media freedom continues to face challenges, the council said in a joint statement signed by its President Mahfuz Anam and General Secretary Dewan Hanif Mahmud.
The Editors Council called on the government to address “mob justice” in all institutions, including the media, and urged all parties to respect the principles of press freedom.
