A list of repressive laws, including the Cyber Security Act, has been prepared in Bangladesh, and these laws will soon be repealed or amended where applicable.
Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus made the announcement during his address to the nation on Wednesday.
He said that false and harassment-based cases filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act and Digital Security Act (now Cyber Security Act) are being withdrawn. Additionally, investigations and prosecutions of five high-profile murder cases, including the murder of journalists Sagar and Runi, are being prioritized and expedited.
Dr Yunus highlighted that the interim government initiated significant reforms in the judiciary right from the beginning of its tenure.
The appointment of the most qualified individual as chief justice has instilled new hope among the people. Important appointments, including judges of the Appellate Division and the attorney general, have all been completed.
Emphasizing that freedom of the press and expression has already been ensured, he said: "We have told everyone to feel free to criticize us. We respect everyone's opinions."
To ensure that the media can work without any hindrance, the government is actively considering forming a media commission.
Additionally, the government is undertaking efforts to restructure and reform commissions that hold it and others accountable, making them more robust and focused on public welfare.
