Dhaka, May 14 (UNI) Bangladesh’s National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) has requested the country’s Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to immediately block or remove all websites and social media pages affiliated with the Awami League party and like-minded organisations, following its official ban by Chief Advisor Mohammed Yunus’ interim government.
The NCSA, in a letter, also requested the BTRC to ask platforms such as Meta (Facebook), X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and TikTok, to block all social media handles linked to the ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina – led party, according to The Daily Star.
The move comes after the government banned all activities of the Awami League and its affiliated organisations until the end of ongoing trials against its members at the International Crimes Tribunal.
