May 3: Live Translation Feed
May 3rd, 2007
Shahidul Alam : We will speak in English and Bangla. English only for those who are abroad. But when not, it will be translated.
Afsan Chowdhury: Speaking in English, no translation needed.
Khaled Mohiuddin: I am with Bdnesws24.com. Journalists think themselves as social workers.
Munni Saha: I echo what Khaled said.
Probir Sikder: I was victim of terrorism in 2001. I am very confused what should I say about journalism and safety? I was attacked and lost my leg, but when I went on TV we could not mention the name of my attacker. I see these glossy supplements made in newspapers about press freedom, with advertisement money, what should I say? It seems the advertiser is more important than my safety. I don’t want safety as a journalist, I want safety as a human being? We should fight for our rights, but within the spirit of the liberation war.
Mainul Khan: I am with Reporter San Frontieres. This repeated oppression, there is now a trend of self censorship. How are we going to get over these trends. Safety is a fundamental issue, not just for journalists. We have to stop censoring ourselves.
