In the wake clashes between the media and police at Chittagong, the Daily Star in Dhaka decided to boycott coverage of the event.
It was not possible for us to file reports while fellow journalists languished in hospital, victims of brutal police assault. To protest this unjust police torture the journalists immediately held a meeting and decided to boycott the Bangladesh-Australia series until the incident was fairly investigated and the guilty police officials were punished.
