Bangladesh Set to Repeal Cyber Security Act

Bangladesh is poised to repeal its controversial Cyber Security Act within a week, as confirmed by Nahid Islam, adviser to the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications, and Information Technology. During a recent meeting with Norway’s Ambassador to Bangladesh, Hakon Arald Gulbrandsen, Islam stated that all cases filed under the act will be withdrawn. This move is part of a wider effort by the government to review and amend laws that hinder freedom of expression, reflecting a commitment to enhance civil liberties in the country.

Islam highlighted that the repeal of the Cyber Security Act is just one aspect of a comprehensive review of existing legislation perceived as repressive. The government intends to engage stakeholders in discussions about necessary reforms to ensure that future laws promote rather than restrict freedom of speech. This development comes amid rising public sentiment for greater transparency and accountability from the government, especially following years of political turmoil and allegations of repression.

In discussing the political landscape, Islam expressed the government’s intention to conduct upcoming parliamentary elections based on national consensus. He noted that the interim government is committed to rebuilding the nation, emphasizing that the previous administration had engaged in numerous irregularities and corruption over the past 16 years. The adviser called for collaboration with Norway to assist in this rebuilding process, which aims to restore trust in governmental institutions and foster a more inclusive political environment.

Regarding the safety of minority communities in Bangladesh, Islam reassured that special security measures were implemented during recent cultural celebrations, such as Durga Puja. He criticized the previous government for exploiting minority groups for political gain and failing to pursue justice for incidents of oppression. In a bid to counter negative international perceptions surrounding the recent public uprising, Islam urged for Norway’s cooperation in disseminating accurate information about the situation in Bangladesh, highlighting the government’s desire to strengthen ties with Norway as a key development partner, particularly in the fields of information technology and media.
