Bangladesh’s interim government has warned all print, electronic and online media outlets to refrain from reporting statements issued by “convicted and fugitive” deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, citing concerns over national security and public order.
The National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) claimed that Hasina’s statements may contain directives or calls capable of inciting “violence, disorder and criminal activities” and disrupting social harmony, The Daily Star reported.
It further said that using a false identity or illegally accessing systems to spread hate speech, ethnic incitement or calls for violence is a punishable offence, and provides for penalties of up to two years of imprisonment and/or fines of up to 10 lakh Bangladeshi Taka (approximately '724,090).
