The interim government has decided in principle to repeal the widely condemned Cyber Security Act (CSA).

At a meeting chaired by Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus at his office in Dhaka's Tejgaon, the Advisory Council today decided to cancel the controversial law enacted by the ousted Awami League (AL) regime, reports Prothom Alo citing Environment, Forest and Climate Change Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan.

After a meeting of the Advisory Council last week, Post, Telecommunication and Information Technology Adviser Nahid Islam said the CSA would be repealed within a week. "All the cases filed under this law will be withdrawn."
