Bangladesh’s interim government has warned that airing or publishing audio statements of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be considered a grave violation of the 2009 Anti-Terrorism Act. The Press Wing reminded media outlets that last December, the tribunal had already banned the broadcast of “hateful” statements by the ousted leader. Despite this, some outlets aired a speech in which Hasina allegedly spread “false and provocative claims.” Authorities cautioned that any future broadcasts would trigger immediate legal action. Hasina fled Bangladesh after being accused of ordering mass killings during the July uprising. She has been convicted by a tribunal and faces charges of crimes against humanity, while her Awami League party remains banned. The interim government pledged to ensure justice, accountability, and the country’s first genuinely free and fair elections.
