freedom of speech in Bangladesh

A repackaged DSA brings renewed worries

Government must address concerns raised by the media, rights defenders

We need a vibrant library culture

National Book Centre must do a better job to fulfil its mandate

A blatant disregard for rights treaties

The Digital Security Act must go, before it inflicts further harm
