вЂњNot only is the government failing to protect peopleвЂ™s freedom of expression, it has been blaming them for the threats they face and criminalising the work of bloggers and journalists through a slew of repressive laws.вЂќДЄrmed groups in Bangladesh have acted with impunity, succeeding in several high-profile killings with little consequence, according to the report, titled вЂCaught between fear and repression: Attacks on freedom of expression in BangladeshвЂ™. The Amnesty International report comes in the backdrop of brutal attacks on bloggers and publishers, including the lynching of writers Ahmed Rajib Haider and Avijit Roy, in Bangladesh in recent years. If we come up with a clear policy regarding freedom of expression as guaranteed by the Constitution, it will help the neighbouring countries in the long run,вЂќ said Patel. We have gone wrong on the issue of sedition. вЂњIndia should be the torch-bearer as regards freedom of expression. He said India should be in regular touch with the governments of all the neighbouring countries going through a turmoil, including Bangladesh, and put pressure on them to initiate action against the perpetrators of such attacks. The policy should be based on threat perception of individuals.вЂќ

It should not only accept refugees of a particular faith. Speaking on what should IndiaвЂ™s role be in the matter, Aakar Patel, Executive Director of Amnesty International India, said, вЂњIndia can offer refuge to those who leave Bangladesh due to these incidents. Through imprisonment, threats, intimidation and constant interference in their work, the Bangladesh government has done all it can to silence the critical voices in the media,вЂќ said Blomqvist. вЂњThe Bangladesh government treats journalism as if it is a crime. вЂњWe have also organised a press conference in London for the Bangladeshi journalists based there. Not only is the government failing to protect freedom of expression, it is blaming the people for the threats they face and criminalising the works of bloggers and journalists through a slew of repressive laws,вЂќ said Amnesty InternationalвЂ™s Bangladesh researcher Olof Blomqvist.ДЄsked why the report was being released in Delhi instead of dhaka, he said the Amnesty International wanted to highlight the вЂњregional natureвЂќ of threats to freedom of expression, adding that it had documented similar issues and restrictions in India, pakistan and maldives as well.

вЂњBetween the violence of armed groups and governmentвЂ™s repression, the secular voices in Bangladesh are consistently being silenced.
