The National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) of Bangladesh has urged media outlets to exercise caution when broadcasting or publishing statements from convicted or fugitive individuals. In a statement issued on Sunday, the agency noted that some print, electronic, and online news platforms have recently aired remarks from former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been convicted, describing such actions as threats to national security and violations of law. The NCSA warned that such content may incite violence, disorder, or criminal acts, and falls under punishable offenses according to the Cyber Security Act 2025. Under Section 8(2), authorities are empowered to remove or block digital content that threatens national integrity, security, or public order. Section 26 stipulates penalties of up to two years in prison and fines up to one million taka for spreading hate or incitement. The agency reaffirmed respect for press freedom but emphasized the media’s responsibility to avoid disseminating provocative or unlawful content.
