Bangladesh tribunal orders 3 journalists held until trial in 2024 uprising case

A special tribunal in Bangladesh ordered authorities to keep three journalists—Mozammel Babu, Farzana Rupa, and Shyamal Dutta—jailed pending their trial related to the 2024 mass uprising that ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Global human rights groups criticized the detention, arguing that criminalizing questions asked at a press conference sets a dangerous precedent.
