We are deeply worried about Mr. Anam's indictment

I, as a reader of The Daily Star, am deeply worried about the cases filed against Mr. Mahfuz Anam. In a civilised society, nobody is immune to justice. But what we are watching now is totally different. It is like a political vendetta. I am worried about the nature of the complaints lodged/filed against him with a tag of crores of taka and counting. I also do not know if there is any such precedence in any part of the civilised world to bring these kinds of charges against a journalist of Mr. Anam's stature and reputation who is a freethinker, a freedom fighter, and an uncompromising supporter of Bangladesh's Liberation War and of secular Bangali nationalism.
