Neutral summary
Freedom fighter Manik Pashari, who was the complainant in a case against Delawar Hossain Sayeedi, died on Friday, 23 October. His family said his burial was obstructed for about 17 hours by local Jamaat-e-Islami activists, and that state honours were also blocked, according to the family. He was buried late on Saturday night in a family graveyard in Pirojpur, with female relatives taking part as few men were present; Channel i says it took place under police security. Actor and freedom fighter Sohel Rana criticised the obstruction on Facebook, writing that 'anti-independence forces' blocked the burial, that his daughter dug the grave by lantern light, and that an earlier grave had been filled in. He called on the government for a response and urged freedom fighters' supporters to act.
Where accounts differ. Dhaka Post reports that the earlier grave was filled with soil by 'the defeated enemies of independence,' while Channel i reports the same post without that detail, and only Channel i says the burial was completed under police security.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
