Press intimidation
On 10 July 2004, an Ajker Kagoj reporter received a death threat describing him and the newspaper as an "enemy of Islam" and warning that he would be "killed within a month."[1] On 22 August 2004, Kamal Hossain, another reporter from the newspaper, was murdered while collecting data for a story on organized crime in the south-eastern town of Manikchhari.[2][3]

Ajker Kagoj was shut down on 20 September 2007 as a result of continued financial difficulties.[4] In a statement, editor Kazi Sahed Ahmad promised that all 225 staff and journalists would receive their pay and entitlements.[5]
