Bangladesh: Press freedom groups urge government action on DSA cases

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and 18 other press freedom and human rights organisations have urged the government of Bangladesh to intervene in an ongoing Digital Security Act (DSA) case against journalist Adhora Yeasmean, who has suffered continual harassment and intimidation after reporting on alleged criminal activities of a religious organisation in the country. The IFJ urges the Bangladeshi authorities to guarantee the safety and security of all journalists and to ensure that neither the DSA nor the country’s Cyber Security Act are used to target journalists and freedom of expression.
