Shafiq Shahin and Farid Ahmed Bhuiyan received award for the courageous report on Fazlu Miah, who had been released from Sylhet Central Jail after languishing 23 years in jail for no offence. Jeddah correspondent Masud Selim was awarded for his cooperation to hand over Sylhet teenage boy Rajon murder prime accused Kamrul Hasan to law enforcement agencies in Jeddah.
