February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

The power of RAB is stronger than government. Is it true for Bangladesh? Or is RAB a ‘God’ in Bangladesh? Or the government himself wants to continue extra judicial killings? Many questions are rounding in our minds.

February 22nd, 2010 · No Comments

As a professional journalist, writer and worker for human rights, I am a helpless victim of the conspiracies and revenges of corrupt politicians and the persons related them jointly.
