Abstract:
Fair Trial is a fundamental right of an accused under Article 35 (3) of the Bangladesh Constitution. The Constitution also ensures freedom of expression and press, but reasonable restrictions exist. Sometimes, the media overexposed the news before the trial in high-profile cases. It destroys the administration of justice. So, the main focus of this research is to find out how media trials hinder fair justice and violate the rights of the accused in Bangladesh. The Paper will show the victimization due to media trials in other countries like India, the UK, USA. The paper will also focus on violating the existing fundamental right of an accused under the Constitution and the international instrument. This paper will suggest specific recommendation that was necessary to prevent the issue.
