Digital Security Act: Rokeya univ teacher granted bail by HC
The High Court yesterday granted bail to Sirajum Munira, a suspended teacher from Begum Rokeya University Rangpur (BRUR), in a case under the Digital Security Act.
The HC bench of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan granted the ad-interim bail after virtually hearing a petition.
Petitioner's lawyer Barrister Jyotirmoy Barua told The Daily Star that there is no legal bar for her client to get released from Rangpur jail, following the HC order.
Law enforcers arrested Sirajum Munira, a teacher of BRUR's Bangla department, on June 14 in a case filed under the Digital Security Act on charges of posting derogatory updates on her Facebook profile, defaming the recently-deceased veteran Awami League leader and lawmaker Mohammad Nasim.
Members of Tazhat police station of Rangpur Metropolitan Police reportedly arrested Sirajum Munira from her residence in Rangpur city at midnight on that same day.
