Bangladesh’s Attorney General, Mohammad Asaduzzaman, has stated that any law that suppresses journalists and restricts freedom of expression should be abolished. Speaking at the launch of a report titled ‘Freedom of the Press in Bangladesh: Experiences with the Digital Security Act’ in Dhaka, he indicated that all cases filed under the Digital Security Act (DSA) could be dismissed by December. Asaduzzaman emphasized that repealing the law alone is not enough; the next government must also abandon repressive practices against the media. He criticized the ruling Awami League for introducing the DSA after repealing Section 57 of the ICT Act, calling it a deception against the public. His remarks reflect growing calls from rights groups and media organizations to ensure genuine press freedom and end the misuse of restrictive laws against journalists.
