Bangla Press Desk: The Council of Advisers in a meeting on Tuesday approved the draft of the Cyber Surokkha Adhyadesh-2025 (Cyber Protection Ordinance-2025)’, abolishing a number of provisions of the Cyber Security Act-2023 as the interim government promised to revoke the Act.
One of the provisions abolished while drafting the new ordinance is “punishment for carrying out any hateful, misleading and defamatory propaganda against the Liberation War, spirit of the Liberation War, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahaman, national anthem or national flag” as many cases were filed using this provision in the past to “harass” people.
Law Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul briefed reporters at the Foreign Service Academy about the decisions taken at the meeting of the Council of Advisers with Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus in the chair.
Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Mahmud and Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam also spoke at the briefing.
