BD editor

DHAKA: A court in Bangladesh issued an arrest warrant for the editor of the country’s top daily newspaper on Wednesday over a cartoon and article deemed offensive to Muslims.
Activists have accused the Bangladesh government of seeking to muzzle its critics, and the warrant came weeks after authorities forced off air a private television station that broadcast a speech by the son of the opposition leader.
Matiur Rahman, who edits the Bengali daily Prothom Alo, was accused of hurting religious sentiment in a case filed last October.
