The Chief Advisor’s Office on Wednesday issued a rejoinder to a bdnews24.com report titled “Awami League urges ICC investigation of ‘murders, unlawful imprisonment’ in Bangladesh”. Rejoinder to bdnews24.com ReportWe note with serious concern the article published by bdnews24.com titled “Awami League urges ICC investigation of ‘murders, unlawful imprisonment’ in Bangladesh” which features an interview with former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. It omits mention of the serious and well-documented charges against Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League’s record of corruption, violence, and authoritarian governance. Media outlets carry a responsibility to inform the public truthfully and in full context, especially on matters of national importance. We expect that this rejoinder will be published prominently in the same section as the original report, in keeping with standard journalistic practice and the principles of fairness and accountability.
