Are we going to lose our freedom of speech? Why journalists are being killed one by one? And where is fair judgement? Perhaps the answer of all these questions is "I DON'T KNOW".

Bangladesh is an independent country. So here all should enjoy the freedom of speech. Journalists should do so even more than others. Their duty is to show all black and dark of society through reporting. None should try to prevent them from unearthing the truth. But this has not happened. They are being obstructed. Many journalists are being tortured and many were killed.

This is a very ominous situation for the country.

Moreover, none of the killers have so far been punished. Our image in the outside world has been tarnished. The government should think in terms of remedial measures without wasting any more time.
