All cases will be abolished with repeal of DSA: Asif Nazrul
Dr Asif Nazrul

Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul on Friday said that the Digital Security Act (DSA) will be repealed by the interim government.

He said this at the 'DRU-Desh TV Best Reporting Award-2024' ceremony at Dhaka Club this afternoon.

Asif Nazrul said, “With the repeal of the Digital Security Act, all cases will be cancelled. Only computer offences, that is computer hacking, blackmailing with intimate pictures of children – such crimes will continue.”

“But the cases for journalism or free-thinking people, dissenting people's comments will be dismissed,” he added.
