UN decries culture of impunity in Bangladesh over killing of journalists
UN rights experts have expressed deep concern at the failure of Bangladeshi authorities to complete an investigation and ensure justice over the murder of two journalists 10 years ago.
Married Bangladeshi couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi were stabbed to death in their rented apartment in front of their 5-year-old son on 11 February 2012. It is widely believed that they were targeted because of their investigative reporting on corruption in Bangladesh’s energy sector which they were about to publish.
Sarowar was news editor at Bangladesh’s TV channel Masranga, while his wife, Runi, was a senior reporter at ATN Bangla, a satellite and cable television channel.
UN rights experts have expressed deep concern at the failure of Bangladeshi authorities to complete an investigation and ensure justice over the twin murder 10 years ago, UN human rights experts said on Friday.
