Amar Desh (Bengali: আমার দেশ), a newspaper in Bangladesh, was operational from 2004 until its closure.[4][5] Published in Dhaka in Bengali, it reported on Bangladesh's news from local, regional, and international viewpoints. Known as a prominent opposition paper, Amar Desh supported the Bangladesh Nationalist Party in its editorial stance.[6][7] The government of Bangladesh has shut down the newspaper and is to be opened again in 22 December 2024.[8][9][10]
The Awami League government has closed down Amar Desh twice, coinciding with the arrests of editor Mahmudur Rahman. The first instance was on June 1, 2010, when the editor was arrested, and the newspaper was shut down for 10 days.[6][11] The second closure occurred on April 11, 2013, following Rahman's arrest for publishing Skype conversations related to Bangladesh's war crimes trials. The suppression of the newspaper continues.[12][13]
