- David Bergman (born c. 1965) is a British Jewish investigative journalist, blogger, and political commentator on Bangladesh. Bergman is a prominent critic of the regime of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Awami League party. He is also the husband of Bangladeshi lawyer Sara Hossain, whose father Kamal Hossain fell out with Sheikh Hasina and is currently in alliance with the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party led by Khaleda Zia. Bergman is the English Editor of Netra News, a Bangladeshi dissident website based in Sweden. He often appears on Al Jazeera English Television to criticize the government of Sheikh Hasina. He worked with Al Jazeera Investigates on the documentary All the Prime Minister's Men which caused a corruption scandal concerning the country's 16th army chief Aziz Ahmed. The Government of Bangladesh accuses Bergman of being part of a "smear campaign" associated with the Jamaat-e-Islami, a de facto banned Islamist party. Bergman was once the executive director of the Centre for Corporate Accountability, which promoted the enactment of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 in the United Kingdom. Bergman has worked for several Bangladeshi newspapers and news portals. He is known for his reportage on war crimes committed during the Bangladesh Liberation War. An investigative documentary on the subject he worked as a reporter and researcher for British television in 1995 won an award. He was convicted of contempt of court by Bangladesh's special war crimes tribunal in 2015 for contradicting the official death toll of the war. Bergman has also contributed to The New York Times and Foreign Policy. (en)
