Govt warns against airing Hasina speeches
Bangladesh's Ministry of Information has urged all media outlets and social media users to comply with the International Crimes Tribunal's directive prohibiting the broadcast or publication of statements by ousted and fugitive former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
In a statement issued on Friday, the ministry said the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) imposed a ban on the publication and broadcast of Sheikh Hasina's speeches on December 5, 2024.
The ministry noted that under Bangladesh's existing laws, there are legal restrictions on publishing or broadcasting speeches, interviews, audio recordings, or video messages of individuals who have been convicted by a court and remain fugitives.
It called on all television channels, radio stations, newspapers, online news portals, and social media users to refrain from directly or indirectly publishing or broadcasting any speech, statement, or recorded message by Sheikh Hasina in the interest of maintaining law and order and respecting the tribunal's directive.
The ministry also expressed hope that all media organizations, stakeholders, and citizens would uphold the country's laws and comply fully with the court's instructions.
