Information and Broadcasting Adviser Md Nahid Islam has said that the instigators of the July-August massacre will be brought to book, no matter whether they identify themselves as journalists, writers, or artists.
Speaking at a press conference at the Secretariat yesterday, Nahid said: “Even the government does not want to see cases against journalists. If anyone faces cases and thinks he or she is being harassed, they are welcome to come to inform the ministry of the situation.”
"Poets, writers, journalists and cultural personalities who were involved in fascism or instigated the massacre must be brought to justice," he said in reply to a question.
Nahid, also the posts and telecommunications and information technology adviser, said that those who indirectly worked in favour of the mass killings by drawing public opinion through their writings and comments and incited killings would also be brought to book.
