Mahmudur Rahman's release hailed
Reporters Without Borders welcomed the release of Mahmudur Rahman, the editor of daily Amar Desh, on completion of an arbitrary jail sentence for contempt of court.
A release said the press freedom organisation calls on President Zillur Rahman and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to end the political harassment that many opposition journalists have had to endure, including Mahmudur and members of his staff.
Mahmudur was arrested on 2 June 2010 on charges of fraud, libel, obstructing the police and sedition.
