Transparency Interna-tional Bangladesh (TIB) demanded on Wednesday that the government bring change to the controversial' sections of the Digital Security Act 2018, reports UNB.
"We're very disappointed at the passage of the Digital Security Bill in Parliament. However, we hope that the President won't assent to the bill and instead send back it to the House to reconsider the controversial sections," said TIB Executive Director Dr Iftekharuzzaman.
He further said, "We aren't opposing the act, but we're just demanding amending some sections. It'll jeopardise not only the free expression of opinions but also practice of basic human rights of both the media people and mass people."
The TIB chief came up with comments while addressing a human chain programme held at the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University.
