Rozina Islam, an established journalist for Prothom Alo newspaper, is still under investigation related to the Official Secret Act, a colonial-era law that dates back to 1923. CFWIJ has learned that Rozina cannot pursue investigative pieces due to persistent surveillance since her arrest on May 17.

Rozina Islam, a senior correspondent for Daily Prothom Alo, is facing challenges as the state authorities continue to target her. According to the latest reports, the Financial Intelligence Unit has asked all banks to submit Rozina’s account details, even if she is listed as a beneficiary. Through its sources, CFWIJ confirmed that Rozina still does not have her passport, Press Information Department (PID) card, or mobile phone. We demand state authorities immediately return the confiscated belongings to the journalist. CFWIJ believes the state is targeting Rozina for her relentless efforts to expose corruption in the health sector.
