Legal adviser Asif Nazrul announced that nine controversial sections from the previous Cyber Security Act have been repealed in the newly amended ordinance, which will result in the automatic dismissal of related cases—constituting 95% of all cases under the previous law. The revised ordinance, expected to be gazetted this week, for the first time recognizes internet access as a fundamental right. It also criminalizes online gambling, and classifies digital abuse and sexual harassment of women and children as punishable offenses. Only two offenses related to freedom of expression remain: dissemination of sexually exploitative content targeting women and children, and inciting religious hatred that provokes violence. Magistrates will have the authority to dismiss baseless cases within 24 hours.
