To interim Prime Minister of Bangladesh Muhammad Yunus:

Farzana Rupa, a journalist, is detained without trial for her reporting, and treated as though she is on death row. Accused without trial of murder and genocide, rights groups say the charges are baseless. As a Nobel Peace Prize winner, you stand for justice and human rights. We urge you to ensure Farzana’s immediate release, uphold her right to a fair trial, and protect press freedom in Bangladesh.

Free Farzana!

Farzana Rupa, a Bangladeshi journalist, is being treated as though she's on death row -- for doing her job: reporting the truth.

Without trial, Farzana has been thrown into a death cell, a place normally reserved for execution. She is being accused of murder and genocide, but rights groups say the accusations against her are unfounded.

She’s already lost 25 pounds, and her family is asking for help.
That’s where we come in: The interim government is led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus. He’s a global icon who cares about his reputation — and we can show him the world is watching.

With enough public pressure, we can demand that Yunus ensures a fair trial for Farzana and protects press freedom in Bangladesh. Add your name and share now!
