A Bangladeshi cartoonist and a writer are among 11 people to be charged for posting content on social media critical of the government's handling of the coronavirus outbreak in the country. Two of the 11 - cartoonist Ahmed Kabir Kishore and writer Mushtaq Ahmed - were arrested on Wednesday by the Rapid Action Battalion paramilitary forces under the Digital Security Act (DSA), which critics say is a serious threat to freedom of expression in the nation of 168 million people.
