Chief Adviser Prof. Muhammad Yunus announced on September 11 that the government is actively considering the formation of a media commission to ensure that the media can operate freely and without hindrance.
In a televised speech marking the first month of the interim government, which was established on August 8, Prof. Yunus said, “The formation of a media commission is under active consideration by the government so that the media can perform their duties smoothly, without any obstacles.”
“Full freedom of the press and expression has already been ensured. We have made it clear that everyone is free to criticize us openly. We respect all opinions,” he added.
He also mentioned that a list of repressive laws, including the Cyber Security Act, has been compiled, and these “black laws” will either be repealed or amended soon.
