Bangladeshis will no longer be able to hear Sheikh Hasina's voice, according to the Yunus government's new decision

International News: The people of Bangladesh will no longer be able to listen to the statements made earlier by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The reason behind this is a stern warning given by the head of the interim government of Bangladesh, Professor Mohammad Yunus, to the media organizations of the country. The Yunus government has clearly stated that if any newspaper, TV channel, or online portal publishes or broadcasts the statements of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, then immediate legal action will be taken against them.

A statement issued by the government's press wing said that on Thursday some media organizations broadcast Sheikh Hasina's speech in defiance of the court and the law. In this speech, she made many misleading and provocative claims, according to the government.

Government Justifies Warning With Law

The government statement also said that the International Crimes Tribunal has found Sheikh Hasina guilty. And she is still on trial for crimes against humanity. According to the government, the activities of the Awami League have already been banned. Also, under the Anti-Terrorism Law of 2009, there is a provision for action against those who publish the activities, speeches, or propaganda of a banned organization or its leaders.

Media Reported Serious Law Violations

The interim government has described Sheikh Hasina as a convicted criminal and an absconding accused in anti-humanity crimes. Along with this, it said that broadcasting her audio or statement on TV or an online platform is a serious violation of the Anti-Terrorism Law of 2009. The statement also gave the example that in December last year, the International Criminal Tribunal of the former Yugoslavia had also banned the broadcast of hate speeches of the dictator.

Hasina’s Statements Threaten Democratic Stability

The government says that Hasina's statements not only mislead the public but can also pose a threat to the stability and peace of the country's democratic transition. The statement appealed to the media to act responsibly and warned that strict legal action will be taken against any institution that violates this ban.
