Charge: Sedition
Prison: Dhaka (Map)
Choudhury was arrested at Zia International Airport in Dhaka, on his way to Israel to participate in a conference organised by the Hebrew Writers Association. Choudhury had planned to attend their symposium held in Tel Aviv on the topic of media's role in establishing peace. Choudhury was charged by the Bangladeshi authorities with sedition because of his association with Israel and his critical writings. Documents found in his briefcase, which included his reports on human rights in Bangladesh and the text of his upcoming speech were used as supporting evidence against him. He was accused of having links to an Israeli intelligence agency. The charge carries a maximum penalty of death or 30 years imprisonment.
