Amar Desh (Bengali: আমার দেশ, lit. 'My country'; listenⓘ) is a daily newspaper in Bangladesh, published from Dhaka in the Bengali language since 2004.[4] Amar Desh provides news about Bangladesh from local and regional perspectives and covers international news. Amar Desh is considered as a popular newspaper in Bangladesh.[5][6] The newspaper was closed down in 2010 and again in 2013 by the Awami League administration.[7][6] After the fall of Hasina's regime, the newspaper was relaunched in 22 December 2024.[8][9]

The Awami League government has twice closed down the newspaper, and both times its censorship occurred in conjunction with the arrests of editor Mahmudur Rahman.[10] On 1 June 2010, the editor was arrested and the government shut the newspaper down for 10 days.[5][11] On 11 April 2013, he was arrested again for publishing the Skype conversations between Mohammed Nizamul Huq, the lead justice of Bangladesh's war crimes trials and Ahmed Ziauddin, and the suppression of the newspaper was continued by the Awami League government.[12][13]
