| A television channel in Bangladesh has been ordered to stop broadcasting interviews with the country's most famous hangman, officials say.
They say that the government has ordered the three-part show off air because it could frighten children.
The hangman, who has hanged nine people in his 21 years in prison, has requested anonymity.
But he told the BBC that the programmes on the private channel, Banglavision, were mainly about his lifestyle.
The prison authorities wrote to Banglavision requesting them not to broadcast the programme, which "might affect the tenderness of the children and the mentality of the mass people of the country".
