The Sampadak Parishad (Editors' Council) has postponed tomorrow's human chain, which was called denouncing the passage of the Digital Security Bill 2018, upon request from Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu.
The Editors' Council yesterday at a meeting with the law minister and post telecommuni-cations and ICT minister expressed deep concern over some provisions in the digital security bill placed in parliament last week. Freedom of expression and independent journalism, they feared, will largely be affected if those provisions remain in the proposed legislation.
