In a joint condolence message, journalist leaders said Kazim Reza fought all his life for democracy and independent journalism. He never compromised with lies and injustice. During his service in various important positions of BFUJ and DUJ, he was uncompromising on the question of securing journalists' rights. He also left a mark of honesty and sincerity in performing professional duties.

It was further stated in the condolence message that after being dismissed from BSS, his last workplace, during the fascist government regime, Kazim Reza passed away on Wednesday after a long period of unemployment, financial hardship and largely without medical treatment.

Journalist leaders prayed for the eternal peace of the deceased's soul and expressed heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family members.
