Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) has expressed concern over the arrest of journalist Saeed Khan and the disappearance of another journalist, Asif Shawkat Kallol.
DRU President Syed Shukur Ali Shuvo and General Secretary Mohi Uddin in a release expressed concern over these incidents.
The leaders said the two DRU members travel to different places to perform their professional duties.
They urged law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of journalists so that they can perform their professional duties properly.
Saeed Khan's wife informed DRU that her husband was picked up from their home by individuals identifying themselves as police on Thursday night. He was shown arrested in a case on Friday.
The leaders hope for his fair trial.
On the other hand, Asif Shawkat Kallol's wife reported that her husband did not return home on Thursday night and has been unreachable by phone.
The leaders have sought law enforcement assistance in finding Kallol and have called for ensuring that journalists are not unnecessarily harassed and their safety is secured while they are performing their professional duties.
