A DARK DAY FOR INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
The Island
|December 22, 2025
They can burn our office, not our resolve
It was one of the darkest days for independent journalism in Bangladesh when two of its largest newspapers -- The Daily Star and Prothom Alo - were attacked.
Our colleagues, trapped on the roof, feared for their lives as a mob vandalised one floor after another and set fire to the lower floors. Although at one point it became difficult for them to breathe because of the smoke, no one has been hurt and everyone has returned home safely thanks to the efforts of the fire service, the police and the army.
