Media Khaledia Zia bans Newsweek's latest Issue by Sophia Barkat As if we read the Newsweek back home, the Government of Bangladesh banned Newsweek's latest issue which states that the Qu'ran is originally written in Aramaic and not Arabic. Khaleda Zia's government is under attack from Reporters Without Borders for: "With more than 110 journalists physically attacked, 130 threatened and 25 arrested, the toll under Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's government was exceptionally heavy. The government's composition - an alliance of conservatives and Islamists - led to greater intolerance toward the inddependent press." http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=6372 I have yet to read the Newsweek article by a German scholar, but it seems that Zia is protecting her turf from The Awami League. In any case, it's unnecessary. Governments should not be free to censor information, nor should they lock up or detain journalists. But as is, politicians come to power with people's votes and stay in power with the might of thugs, arresting, detaining are symptomatic of a lack of law and order, even by those who would impose it.
