The National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) has requested not to air the speech of the convicted persons in the media for the interest of national security.
According to a press release of the Ministry of Post, Telecommunication and Information Technology Affairs issued yesterday (17 November), the NCSA is observing with extreme concern that several print and electronic media and online news portals are disseminating the speech and statements of convicted and fugitive Sheikh Hasina.
