Journalists staged an hour-long strike on Monday, demanding proper investigation and trial of the murders of all their colleagues, including the recently slain couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi.
They wore black badges and demanded an immediate end to torture on journalists through the pen down from 12 noon to 1pm.
As per the programme announced earlier by the National Press Club, Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU), Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) and Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ), journalists across the country will stage a token hunger strike from 10am to 4pm on Mar 1.
The hunger strike programme will be centrally held at the National Press Club premises.
On Feb 11, Maasranga Television news editor Golam Mostofa Sarowar, alias Sagar Sarowar, and his wife, ATN Bangla senior reporter Meherun Nahar Runi, were found murdered at their rented flat in the city's west Rajabazar.
Police are yet to arrest anyone or name any suspect over the murder.
On Sunday, the investigators said they are 'almost certain' about the motive behind the killings of the journalist couple but cannot disclose it for the sake of the investigation.
