Maybe they wanted to prove that the criticism was justified.
What a piece of shit country Bangladesh is.
This is specific to journalists, but it's relevant:
Pulled one example:
In March, 2023, Awami League's armed cadres, loyal to Sheikh Hasina beaten the brother of Al-Jazeera I-Unit journalist Zulkarnain Saer Khan in front of his home in Dhaka. The attacker, while attacking, said, “Your brother writes against the prime minister, against the government? He’s a journalist? Now you’ll see.”[19] Zulkarnain Saer Khan exposed the corruption of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the Al-Jazeera documentary All the Prime Minister's Men in 2022 and led an investigation against Sheikh Hasina's close aide Abdus Sobhan Golap's corruption who secretly bought nine properties of 4 million USD in the New York.
I remember this from when I was looking up a few places that surprised me when going through the Press Freedom Index.

I bet it must feel good to be him. Yeah, some real changes he made.
It's certainly not the oppressive government that is to blame or morally scold here. Definitely. It must be the person just voicing their frustration with it that's the problem. Absolutely.
Really - just re-read what kind of BS you're saying.
