A Bangladeshi journalist has been beaten in jail after being arrested on extortion charges. Jahangir Alam Akash was taken to the prison hospital on Thursday with leg injuries that were so bad he could not not stand without assistance. His wife said he also had facial injuries. Most journalists do not believe that Akash, a reporter with the daily Dainik Sangbad, has committed any crime. (Via CPJ)
