Charlotte Jacquemart Calls for International Awareness Over Press Freedom Under Yunus’s Interim Government

In an interview with Dastagir Jahangir, organized by The Voice News Platform, Charlotte Jacquemart, a prominent international figure, stressed the importance of raising awareness about the deteriorating press freedom situation in Bangladesh under Mohammad Yunus’s interim government. Jacquemart, who is well known for her advocacy on human rights and press freedoms, called for increased international attention to the challenges faced by journalists in the country.

Jacquemart expressed concern over the lack of global attention given to Bangladesh, noting that it has historically been overshadowed by other international crises. “Unfortunately, right now, we have a lot of other crises going on in the world. So, Bangladesh has always been a country not getting much attention, unfortunately,” she explained. Her remarks highlight the ongoing struggle Bangladesh faces in garnering the support and visibility it requires on the world stage, particularly when it comes to protecting press freedom.

Regarding the role of international organizations and foreign governments, Jacquemart emphasized the critical importance of raising awareness both inside and outside Bangladesh about the situation under Yunus’s government. She stated, “Raising awareness is already a big thing, you know. That’s what we have to do.” By shining a spotlight on the issue, she believes that global attention can put pressure on the government, even if direct support for persecuted journalists from the interim government remains unlikely.

Her comments underline the urgency of defending press freedom in Bangladesh, as the country’s media continues to face increasing censorship and repression. Jacquemart’s appeal reflects her belief that international solidarity and awareness are key to supporting Bangladesh’s journalists in their fight for free expression.

The interview with Jacquemart adds to the growing calls for global support of press freedom in Bangladesh, urging democratic nations and international organizations to actively contribute to protecting the fundamental rights of journalists and ensuring the country’s media remains independent and free from state control.
