Police Officials to be Punished fot Attacking Photo-Journalists 


Following countrywide protests against Sunday's police attack on journalists during Bangladesh-Australia test match at the Chittagong stadium, the authorities on Sunday suspended a police sergeant and closed the deputy commissioner (port), who led the attack.

Journalists, political leaders, artists, intellectuals and sports organizers and people from different walks of life staged angry protests in the capital, Chittagong and elsewhere in the country on Sunday against the police attack in which at least 20 journalists were injured.

Bangladesh Photojournalists Association suspended for four days their sit-in for an indefinite period after Deputy Minister for Information Abdus Salam Pintu assured the demonstrating photojournalists last evening of fulfilling their four-point charter of demands.

The demands are, dismissal of the policemen involved in the attack including DC Akbar, arrest of and punishment for them, free medical treatment for the injured journalists, compensation to those people whose cameras and other equipment were damaged, and reforms in the police so that such incidents never happen again.
