    The draft cyber law will restrict the media (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The first thing we want to bring to the attention of the public and the government—assuming the latter is interested—is the critical fact that the whole process of drafting the amendment to the existing cyber protection law was done by the bureaucrats. That may be understandable in the case of some other laws, but when a law deals with freedom of thought, speech and expression, they are clearly not ones to trust intuitively. Bureaucracy, by its very nature, is rarely interested in institutions t

But it is definitely not too early to make fact-based predictions about the direction in which it is going. Prime Minister Tarique Rahman continues to give the right message, but early signs from the party are worrisome, especially as regards its internal discipline, its ability to check corruption and nepotism at higher levels—such as advantages being taken by f
