From one Nobel Peace Laureate to another: Yunus congratulates Machado

October 11, 2025

Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus today congratulated Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado on winning the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. "I extend my hearty congratulations to María Corina Machado on receiving the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her courageous fight for democracy in her beloved Venezuela," he said in a congratulatory message. Machado has faced oppression with steadfast resolve, never wavering in her commitment to a freer and more just future for her country and her people, the message read. As the Nobel Committee rightly stated: "Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended — with words, with courage, and with determination." She has dared to imagine a better world and worked tirelessly to make it so, the message added. According to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for promoting democratic rights in her country and for her struggle to achieve a transition to democracy....

Shades of style: The fashion power of eyewear

October 09, 2025

Eyewear has always straddled the line between necessity and style, but today, the balance feels more relevant than ever. There is no denying that sunglasses are a genuine necessity, shielding our eyes from sun damage and, in the time we live in, something we should make a habit of wearing regularly. Yet, practicality doesn't have to mean predictable. Glasses and shades no longer follow a one-size-fits-all formula. From timeless aviators to bold, bedazzled frames, eyewear has become less about hiding behind lenses and more about revealing personality. Gone are the days when oversized aviators were the only shorthand for glamour. Yes, oversized frames still have their allure, but fashion is cyclical, and the pendulum has swung back toward shapes that feel distinctly retro. The 80s-inspired smaller round glasses, or their close cousins (the slim oval frames rimmed with gold), have resurfaced in full force. Their comeback has nothing to do with nostalgia, really. It is about reclaiming an edge, balancing understated cool with effortless sophistication. That said, choosing sunglasses is never a random affair. Your face shape dictates which frames flatter you most. Round faces find balance in angular frames, while sharp jawlines soften beautifully under rounded edges. Heart-shaped faces lean into cat-eyes, elongating the eyes and cheekbones with feline drama. Oval faces, of course, win the lottery — they can carry nearly any frame, from oversized square shades to the tiny 90s rectangles now back in vogue. But the real secret lies not in rules, but in the dialogue between face and frame. The right pair doesn't just complement, it amplifies. And while we speak of amplification, few things illustrate the power of audacity better than bedazzled frames. Think glittered rims, jewel-encrusted borders, and crystals scattered across the lens edge. Once ridiculed for being "unwearable", these are now the emblem of fearless fashion. The shift happened when stylists...

Drik stands by Palestine on the two-year anniversary of its occupation

October 09, 2025

In what is now regarded as the deadliest zone for journalists, nearly 300 journalists and media workers have been killed since October 7, Bangladeshi writer and photojournalist Shahidul Alam and activist-health expert Ruhi Akhter set sail with the flotilla to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip. According to the latest reports, Shahidul Alam and fellow activists were detained after entering the red zone, approximately 220 km off Gaza's coast. In these two years, the occupation has killed almost 10% of the Palestinian population. The entire population is experiencing a Phase 5 level of food insecurity and at least 459 people, including 154 children, have died due to starvation. Although the ships carry approximately $110,000 in aid, it is insufficient. The voyagers emphasise that their mission is not only to deliver relief in the face of mass devastation but also to affirm that Palestinians are not forgotten and to challenge world leaders' silence. The last flotilla carrying Greta Thunberg among other activists were intercepted too, and its members were detained by Israeli forces and according to witnesses, they were held captive and treated inhumanely by the soldiers. After two years, the situation remains largely unchanged: Israel continues to contravene international law and to stop civilian-led efforts intended to bring aid to a starving population. On the two-year anniversary, Drik organised a gathering of artistes across multiple disciplines to raise their voices, and their hands in prayer against the injustice in Palestine. These artistes have long opposed every form of oppression, at home and abroad. Drik's solidarity with Palestine, however, started long before October 7. Even as you enter the building, a Palestinian flag and poster greets you for as long as I can remember showcasing Drik's longstanding refusal to back down in the face of injustice. The small room had a large Palestinian flag stamped on the wall, with the ship. Audiences were encouraged...

Journalist Murder in Bagerhat: Leaders of the Journalist Torture Prevention Cell Heading to the Crime Scene

October 08, 2025

The brutal killing of journalist A.S.M. Hayat Uddin in Bagerhat has sparked outrage, anger, and strong reactions across the journalism community in Bangladesh. To meet the victim’s family and colleagues and to review the progress of the investigation, a high-level delegation from the Journalist Torture Prevention Cell Bangladesh is set to visit the crime scene next week. According to preliminary reports, the slain journalist A.S.M. Hayat Uddin was employed with the Daily Bhorer Chetana. Allegations suggest that he was murdered in a premeditated attack. The victim’s family has filed a murder case with the local police station, and the police have already begun an investigation. In an official statement, the Journalist Torture Prevention Cell Bangladesh declared, “If the safety of journalists cannot be ensured, the freedom of journalism will face a grave threat.” The organization demanded a thorough investigation and swift justice for those responsible for the killing. Following the incident, several top leaders of the organization — including its Chief Md. Khairul Alam Rafiq (Daily Protidhiner Kagoj), Director (Investigation) Gouranga Debnath Opu (Kaler Kantho), Director (Operation & Media) Azharul Haque (Prothom Alo), Director (Service & Media) Sohag Arefin (Protidhiner Kagoj), and Unit Chief Rezaul Karim Reza — along with other members and representatives, will travel to Bagerhat. Meanwhile, journalists in Bagerhat, along with the local Press Club, have staged human chains and protest demonstrations demanding justice. Leaders at the protest warned that if swift justice is not ensured, journalists across the country will launch tougher movements. Local administration officials stated that the investigation is being carried out with the highest priority, and efforts have been intensified to apprehend those responsible for the murder....

False Allegations Against Narsingdi Police Superintendent

March 24, 2025

Maruf Billah:  Former Officer-in-Charge (OC) of the Narsingdi District Detective Branch (DB), Mohammad Kamruzzaman, has started spreading false accusations against Police Superintendent (SP) Mohammad Abdul Hannan. This spread of false and fabricated claims on social media has sparked strong reactions across the district. People from all walks of life, including ordinary citizens, have strongly condemned this smear campaign. Narsingdi Police Superintendent Mohammad Abdul Hannan stated that former DB OC Mohammad Kamruzzaman and Court Inspector Khandakar Zakir Hossain were accused of secretly selling 96 kg of marijuana that was kept in the police warehouse. The allegation was reported by Sub-Inspector Saminur Rahman, who was in charge of the warehouse, to the higher authorities. Upon this, the matter was brought to the attention of the police, and on the instructions of the DIG of the Dhaka Range, the two police officers were recalled to the Narsingdi Police Lines, and an investigation committee was formed under the leadership of Additional Police Superintendent Mohammad Kalimullah. In the face of the investigation, former DB OC Kamruzzaman began spreading false, baseless, and fabricated allegations against the Police Superintendent on social media, which tarnished the reputation of the Narsingdi District Police. Analysts suggest that Kamruzzamans’ defamatory actions were an attempt to protect himself from the marijuana scandal. His despicable actions are considered punishable under departmental rules. After August 5th, the law and order situation in Narsingdi began to deteriorate, with an increase in drug-related crimes, weapon-related incidents, and theft. At that time, as part of the Bangladesh Police's regular transfers, the brilliant, courageous, and proven Police Superintendent Mohammad Abdul Hannan was appointed to Narsingdi. Under his leadership, the Narsingdi District Police declared war on drugs, and through successive successful operations, the district...
