Actor and model #Sohana #Saba has been taken into custody just hours after the arrest of #Meher Afroz #Shawon, another prominent figure in #Bangladesh’s showbiz industry. Both women are known for their strong support of the former ruling party, the Awami League.

Sudha Sadan, the private residence of Sheikh Hasina, previously owned by her late husband, Wazed Miah—also known as Sudha Miah—has been set on fire.

Journalism is journalism, regardless of its medium. “Who else do you think should be part of the consultation process when it comes to online media?” I mentioned several major newspapers whose online versions were among the key players. It’s not just the internet-only news publishers anymore, I tried to explain. My point was simple: any outlet that publishes news is a news publisher, whether online or offline. The World Association of Newspapers (WAN) changed its name to the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers, and then to simply the World Association of News Publishers. Therefore, there is no need for a different approach (regulatory or otherwise) when dealing with a news outlet. I made this clear to the Chair of the Media Reforms Commission, who asked me the question. By the way, what exactly do we want to reform in our media? It’s a good feeling to top the list, though. #mediareform #InterimGovernment

#Tulip #Siddiq resigns as a junior UK #Treasury minister

Khaleda Zia will be treated in the UK’s elite The London Clinic, in west London, a private healthcare facility frequented by the rich and famous, where you get quick services when you can afford it. That’s according to her top aides, my colleague Sumon Mahmud tells me.

Anjana Rahman, described in #film promotions as the dazzling dancer who was almost a household name in the 1970s and 1980s, has died. #Bangladesh

Despite an unprecedented success during the Pakistan tour, Bangladesh's overall performance in 2024 was disappointing. However, the year ended on a high note with a Test win and a T20 series whitewash against the West Indies #cricket #Bangladesh #bdnews24

Bangladesh is invoking extradition treaty between the two countries #sheikhhasina #india #ict

I am truly honoured …

মানব জন্মের নামে হবে কলঙ্ক হবে এরকম দুঃসময়ে আমি যদি মিছিলে না যাই, উত্তর পুরুষে ভীরু কাপুরুষের উপমা হবো আমার যৌবন দিয়ে এমন দুর্দিনে আজ শুধু যদি নারীকে সাজাই। ‘যে জলে আগুন জ্বলে’-র হেলাল হাফিজ মারা গেছেন #হেলালহাফিজ #poetry

So #Khaleda Zia is all set to become the next prime minister, if the elections are held anytime soon? #InterimGovernment #ArmedForcesDay

Police ban rally planned for Saturday by Jatiya Party

#Bangladesh seeks to bypass #WHO Regional Director Saima Wazed #Putul, Sheikh #Hasina’s daughter, in dealing with the global health body because there are ‘ethical and legal issues’ involved. A spokesman for interim prime minister Muhammad #Yunus says a letter has been sent to the WHO headquarters.

Khaleda Zia will take a ‘long distance specialised air ambulance flight’ to London and then possibly to the United States for treatment at one of the very rare medical facilities in the world. Liver transplant is one of the issues to be dealt with at a multidisciplinary hospital. Not everywhere can you find such a plane, her top aides say.

Former aviation/works minister, freedom fighter Engineer Mosharraf Hossain of Chittagong — who sat on the Bangladesh Constitution drafting committee in 1972 — has been arrested in Dhaka on unspecified charges.
