Title
Authorities must immediately drop ICT charges against journalists for carrying out their work
Abstract
Responding to the charges brought against detained journalists by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT), reportedly in relation to a ‘misleading’ report on the deadly crackdown on protesters in Bangladesh, “Freedom of expression extends to information which some may find offensive, shocking or disturbing. Respect for this right is essential to ensuring healthy public discourse in a rights respecting society. Journalists must not be targeted for opinions which are disagreeable, or their perceived links to political parties."
