Journalists form human chain to demand justice for Tuhin murder
Speakers at the human chain said that publicly hacking and slaughtering a journalist to death is not only a barbaric attack on an individual, but also on free media.
They called for the immediate arrest of all those involved in the murder and ensuring the maximum punishment under the law.
