Press Statement Female TV journalist stabbed to death in brutal attack in Bangladesh30 Aug, 2018 A woman television journalist was hacked to death at the door of her home in Pabna of Rajshahi division, Bangladesh on August 28. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the Bangladesh Manobadhikar Sangbadik Forum (BMSF) strongly condemn the horrific murder and the tyranny of violence against women that continues to plague Bangladesh society. The Pabna correspondent for Ananda TV and a journalist for the Daily Jagroto Bangla newspaper, Suborna Nodi, 32, was horrifically attacked and hacked with a sharp-edged weapon by as many as ten assailants at approximately 10pm. She was rushed to Pabna Medical College Hospital but was declared dead on arrival. Goutam Kumar Biswas, Pabna Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP), told the media: “Unidentified assailants rang the doorbell around 10 pm on Tuesday. They hacked Subarna indiscriminately when she opened the door.” Police advised that the assailants fled the scene, but later confirmed the arrest of Nodi’s father-in-law and caretaker of her house, Imran Hossain. The murder is not believed to be work-related, with both her family and police citing an ongoing legal battle over her recent divorce and dowry as a motive behind the murder. Nodi’s mother, Morzina Begum, alleged that on the way to hospital, Nodi told that her ex-husband and his aide were also among the attackers. Domestic violence in all its manifestations is the most pervasive form of violence against women in Bangladesh, with an estimated 60 per cent of married women reporting violence at the hands of a spouse and/or in-laws. Dowry-related violence and killings remain prevalent across Bangladesh, with a 2017 report by Bangladesh Mahila Parishad revealing that at least 141 of the 713 murders recorded were dowry-related homocides. Nodi is the first journalist to be killed in Bangladesh this year, according to IFJ records. Since 1996, at least 22 journalists have been killed in the country, with only two convictions. Journalists in Pabna, Nari Sangbadik Kendra (Women Journalists Centre), Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) and Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) have condemned the killing and demand that the murderers be immediately brought to justice. The IFJ said: “Each year, women journalists are killed, assaulted, threatened, jailed, abused and harassed, most often for doing their job, but also for the ongoing and pandemic discrimination that normalizes violence against women. Bangladesh authorities must ensure that the killers are arrested and prosecuted as soon as possible.” The IFJ offers its condolences to Subharna Nodi’s family. She leaves behind a nine-year-old daughter. Written By The IFJ represents more than 600,000 journalists in 140 countries.

Press Statement दण्डहीनताको अन्त्यका लागि विश्वभर हुने सबैखाले अभियानमा महासंघकाे ऐक्यवद्धता02 Nov, 2018 आज नोवेम्बर २ विश्व अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय दण्डहीनताविरुद्ध दिवस । पत्रकारको हत्यारालाई कारबाही गरी पीडितलाई न्याय दिलाई दण्डहीनताको अन्त्य गर्ने उद्देश्यकासाथ यो दिवसलाई विश्वभरका पत्रकारले मनाउने गरेका छन् । यस अवसरमा अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय पत्रकार महासंघ (आइएफजे) ले पत्रकारका हत्यारालाई कारबाही गर्न आफ्ना सदस्य राष्ट्रहरुलाई आग्रह गर्न संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघलाई आहृवान गरेको छ । पछिल्लो समय विश्वमा पनि पत्रकारको हत्या हुने क्रम बढ्दो छ । पत्रकारका हत्यारालाई दण्ड दिने प्रथा प्रभावकारी नहुँदा विश्वमा पत्रकारको हत्या हुने क्रम रोकिएको छैन । आइएफजेका अनुसार विश्वमा हत्या भएका ९० प्रतिशत पत्रकारले न्याय नपाएको जनाइएको छ । नेपालको सन्दर्भमा पनि पत्रकारका हत्यारालाई कारबाही गरी पीडितले न्याय पाएको घटना न्यून रहेको छ । कतिपय अवस्थामा पत्रकारको हत्या गर्ने पहिचान भइसक्दा पनि विभिन्न पक्षले हत्यारालाई प्रश्रय दिने गरेको तथा कारबाही नगर्न दबाब दिने गरेको कारण राज्य पत्रकारका हत्यारालाई कारबाही गरी पीडितलाई न्याय दिलाउने पक्षमा गम्भीर भएको पाइदैन । जसले गर्दा दण्डहीनता बढिरहेको छ भने पत्रकारको हत्या गर्ने वा प्रेस स्वतन्त्रता हनन्मा संलग्नले उन्मुक्ति पाइरहेका छन् । नेपाल पत्रकार महासंघको प्रेस स्वतन्त्रता अनुगमन इकाइका अनुसार नेपालमा २०५२ सालदेखि सुरु भएको सशस्त्रद्वन्द्वयता हालसम्म विभिन्न पक्षबाट ३६ जना पत्रकार मारिएका छन् भने ५ जना पत्रकार वेपत्ता अवस्थामा छन् । मारिएका ३६ जना पत्रकारमध्ये ५ जना पत्रकारको हत्यामा संलग्नलाई कारबाही गरी पीडित पक्षलाई न्याय दिलाइएको छ भने अन्यको हकमा अझै प्रभावकारी ढंगले कानुनी कारबाही अघि बढ्न सकेको छैन । वेपत्ता भएका ५ जना पत्रकारको अवस्थाका सन्दर्भमा पनि पीडित पक्षले न्याय पाएको छैन । यसैगरी पछिल्लो दश वर्षको अवधिमा १ हजार ८ सय ७ वटा प्रेस स्वतन्त्रता उल्लंघनका घटनाहरु भएका छन् । एकाध घटनाबाहेक अन्य घटनाका दोषीमाथि कुनै पनि कानुनी कारबाही भएको छैन । धेरै जसो घटनाहरु आपसी समझदारीमा टुंग्याउने गरेको पाइन्छ भने कतिपय घटनामा संलग्नको पहिचान हुँदा पनि दोषीलाई दण्ड दिने कामलाई प्रभावकारी ढंगबाट कार्यान्वयन नगरिदा पत्रकार तथा सञ्चारमाध्यममाथि हुने प्रेस स्वतन्त्रता हनन्का घटना बढेको पाइन्छ । पत्रकार तथा सञ्चारमाध्यममाथि हुने सबैखाले आक्रमणको अन्त्य गर्न, पत्रकारको हत्या गर्ने तथा आक्रमणमा संलग्नको पहिचान गरी दोषीलाई कानुनबमोजिम कारबाही गर्न र बेपत्ता पत्रकारको अवस्था सार्वजनिक गरी पीडित पक्षलाई न्याय तथा दोषीमाथि कारबाही गरेर दण्डहीनताको अन्त्य गर्न एवं पूर्ण प्रेस तथा अभिव्यक्ति स्वतन्त्रताको प्रत्याभूति दिलाउन महासंघ सरकारलगायत सम्बन्धित सबै पक्षसँग जोडदार माग गर्दछ । साथै, दण्डहीनताको अन्त्यका लागि विश्वभर हुने सबैखाले अभियानमा महासंघ ऐक्यवद्धता प्रकट गर्दछ । Written By Federation of Nepali Journalists Media Village, Sinamangal, Kathmandu, Nepal Telephone: +977 01 449 0063/ 493 873/ 447 8235 Comments Resources - Media Freedom in Sri Lanka- 2020 09/24/2021 Download - Chasing Justice : Study on impunity for crimes against journalists in Maldives 08/22/2021 Download - IFJ South Asia Media Bulletin, August 2021 08/18/2021 Download
