Bangladesh media condemn Al Jazeera journalist Shireen’s killing
They also called on the authorities concerned to conduct a thorough and independent investigation into Shirin’s death.
In a separate statement Overseas Correspondents Association Bangladesh(OCAB) also condemned the killing.
In a statement signed by OCAB convenor Qadir Kollol and its member secretary Nazrul Islam Mithu voiced deep concern over Shireen’s killing and urged all concerned to ensure safety and security of journalists to carry out their free reporting.
Shireen was a highly respected journalist in the Middle East whose unflinching coverage was known to millions of viewers, reports UNB.
The 51-year-old journalist became a household name synonymous with Al Jazeera’s coverage of life under occupation during her more than two decades reporting in the Palestinian territories, including during the second intifada, or uprising, that killed thousands on both sides, most of them Palestinians.
