Several organizations have demanded the immediate repeal of the Digital Security Law. They made the claim in a separate statement yesterday.
Workers ‘Party: The leaders of the Bangladesh Workers’ Party have said that it is urgent to carry out a complete revision of the High Level Law on the basis of the demand for repeal of the Cyber Crimes Law, or at least the repeal of its oppressive provisions. . 14 teams also need a special overhaul. The leaders expressed this view at a Politburo meeting yesterday. The leaders added that the Workers’ Party had raised strong objections to certain sections of the law when it was enacted. When approving this law, the Minister of Justice spoke of preventing its misapplication and reviewing those sections if necessary, which he has also mentioned recently. The Workers’ Party Politburo meeting called for reviewing the law and reaching consensus to advance the democratic path of the state of Bangladesh. At a virtual meeting chaired by party chair Rashed Khan Menon, party secretary general Fazle Hossain Badshah, politburo member Anisur Rahman Mallick, Dr. Sushant Das, Mahmudul Hasan Manik, Nur Ahmad Bakul, Kamrul were present Ahsan and others.
CPB: The Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) yesterday held a protest rally in front of the Press Club demanding the unconditional release of the detained student leaders and the repeal of the Digital Security Law. President Mujahidul Islam Selim chaired the function while Deputy Secretary General Sajjad Zaheer Chandan, Presidium member Abdullah Kafi Ratan, Central Committee member Abdul Quader, former Narayanganj District Committee chairman Zia Haider, MP, leader student Sakhawat Fahad and Mamata Chakraborty spoke. The meeting was moderated by Central Secretary Jolly Talukder.
Mujahidul Islam Selim said: “Nobody learns from history. Motiul and Kader, from the student union, were shot dead by the police in 1983 at the place where we had organized the demonstration. So I said, we do not consider the one whose hand is stained with the blood of a child as the father of the nation. It was not anti-state, it was a criticism of the government. Today, Sheikh Hasina has united the state and the government to stay in power. Mattresses must be protected against looting. These preventive laws have been continued to protect the mattress. He added: “Writers, cartoonists, journalists and students are currently being arrested and tortured under digital law. The government is deliberately influencing the judiciary. Political opponents are being eliminated in the dead of night.
Abdullah Qafi Ratan said that the IT law has gradually become the infamous Digital Security Law. The repeal of the new version of the Digital Security Law, article 57, was called for, which stifled the freedom of expression of people, which was the subject of intense protests and public opinion. Government and state are not the same. Criticism of the government is a right of the people, this right cannot be taken away and power cannot be maintained.
Jayati Chakraborty’s mother, Mamata Chakraborty, who is in jail, said: “Is this the country of the police?” Or the country of the people? The prime minister has to decide, if he is dictatorial, and then stop student politics like Ershad, otherwise people will not be arrested for speaking out. At the end of the rally, the protest procession came out.
Chhatra Mission: Leaders of the Bangladesh Chhatra Mission have demanded the repeal of the Digital Security Law, a judicial investigation into the mysterious death of Mushtaq Ahmed inside the jail and the release of all prisoners arrested under the Law. Mushtaq Ahmed has been assassinated under state patronage. The freedom of expression of the masses has been strangled by enacting digital security laws in a fascist manner to impede freedom of speech and thought. Meanwhile, the fascist face of the government has been exposed once again by the brutal police crackdown on digital law protesters. They said this at a press conference chaired yesterday by the organization’s central president Syed Md. Milon at the Bangladesh Chhatra Mission office. Md. Shariful Islam, Secretary General of the Chhatra Mission, read a written statement at the conference. Central Labor Party leader Mehedi Hasan, Mission Vice President Chhatra Nazmul Islam Mamun, Deputy General Secretary Sabbir Ahmed, Publicity Secretary Hafizur Rahman Rahman Rifat, Library Secretary Mamunur Rashid and others were present at the time.
The press conference on Friday, March 12, in front of the National Press Club called for the immediate abolition of the session charging system in all educational institutions and the exemption from coronary payment.
Student Union: A protest rally was held at the Shantinagar intersection at the initiative of the Bangladesh Student Union, a private university parliament, demanding the repeal of the Digital Security Act and the unconditional release of detained student leaders . Hasan Wali chaired the show and Masud Mesbah led the show. Central Student Union Secretary General Deepak Shil, Treasurer Shamim Hossain, Office Secretary Mahir Shahriar Reza, Mukta Rezowan Private University Parliament Leader and others spoke.
Deepak Sheel said: “The reign of extreme terror has established itself throughout the country. On the one hand, just as the festival of corruption and looting unfolds, those who speak out are being repressed under the Digital Security Law. Freedom of expression, freedom of thought and the democratic rights of the people are being mercilessly repressed. Approximately 500 people, including writers, journalists and ninth graders, have been arrested under the Digital Security Act in the last 11 months in Corona. The Digital Security Act is creating a scare in people’s minds. I don’t think it’s wrong to call it the politics of fear. The politics of fear has prevailed in Bangladesh today. This fear is temporary. Overcoming fear, the people will unite and overthrow this dictatorial government. Expired from the protest rally, the autocratic government received a red card.
