Speakers in the meeting – The right to liberty, freedom of thought and expression are fundamental human rights. Meanwhile, the Digital Security Act has created a threat to freedom of press and expression, which is also a violation of the fundamental rights of the Constitution. It can also stifle and curtail free expression. There is no alternative to free intellectual practice and freedom of expression if we want to realize the dream of Bangladesh in the future.
