The Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s student wing, Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), has strongly condemned Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) Vice President Abu Sadiq Kayem for filing a cybercrime case against several Facebook pages and accounts accused of spreading misinformation and cyberbullying female leaders. In a statement issued on Tuesday, JCD leaders Rakibul Islam Rakib and Nasir Uddin Nasir called on Kayem to withdraw the case and publicly apologize to students. The organization described the move as unprecedented and an abuse of legal authority, claiming it undermines freedom of online expression. JCD further alleged that Kayem’s actions reflect political intolerance and misuse of the Cyber Security Act, which no longer allows defamation-related cases. The statement accused Kayem of following authoritarian tactics and using legal tools to suppress dissent rather than addressing criticism democratically.
