In the realm of free media, there is no alternative to the expression of free speech

On last Friday (May 3rd) was World Press Freedom Day. On this occasion, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) released the 2024 World Press Freedom Index. In comparison to last year, Bangladesh has slipped two steps back in the global media freedom ranking. Among 180 countries, Bangladesh ranks 165th, with a score of 27.64. In the 2023 Index, Bangladesh's position was 163rd, with a score of 35.31. Such information is an ominous sign for the freedom of the press, as well as for the expression of the country's opinion.
