Dear Sir:
My name is Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury and I am a journalist, columnist, author ,editor and peace activist. On completion of my masters in journalism, I joined Itar-Tass, state news agency of Russian Federation as its correspondent. Later I was promoted to the rank of Chief Correspondent. In 1996 I joined as the Special Correspondent of leading English language daily The New Nation. In 1997 I joined as the CEO and Managing Director of A-21 Television. In 2001 I joined vernacular daily Inqilab as its Special Correspondent as well the CEO and Managing Director of ITV.
Presently I am working as the Editor of Weekly Blitz (English taboid) and editor-in-chief of vernacular weekly Jamjamat. I am also working as the Chairman of Sonali TV.
In 2003, I was arrested by the Bangladesh government for my campaign against the Islamist radicals and for supporting peace in Israel. You can get more information about me from http://www.freechoudhury.com website. Also please note that I am an active member of PENUSA and this year they have announced to award me with the Freedom to Write Award for my contribution towards courageous journalism.
I have authored three vernacular books so far, and my next book named ‘Nights and days of nightmare’ will be published early next year.
I am interested in placing my name for your prestigious award. On hearing from you, I shall submit some of my write ups for your kind consideration.
Please let me know your kind reply in this regard.
With Profound Regards
