International coalition of organisations asks Bangladesh Telecom Regulatory Commission to withdraw and reconsider dangerous draft rules

International coalition of organisations asks Bangladesh Telecom Regulatory Commission to withdraw and reconsider dangerous draft rules

An international coalition of 45 organizations calls on the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to withdraw and reconsider the “Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission Regulation for Digital, Social Media and OTT Platforms”

The signing organizations, in the joint letter submitted on March 4, urge the BTRC to protect people’s rights and freedoms, and enable an open, free and secure internet in Bangladesh. The draft Draft Regulations, published online on February 3, imperils people’s freedom of expression, and right to privacy, undermines encryption and weakens online safety. If enforced, the regulations will have a deleterious impact on human rights, and put journalists, dissidents, activists and vulnerable communities, in particular, at greater risk. We respectfully call upon the BTRC to withdraw and reconsider the Draft Regulations, as they erode digital security and put human rights and freedoms at risk. The BTRC must frame its consultation around the exact problems it wishes to address and engage with stakeholders on what regulatory options are best suited to address them, rather than forcing through one, overbroad set of regulations.

In order to protect human rights and enable a free, open and secure internet, it is imperative for the BTRC to withdraw and reconsider the Draft Regulations. Further, sustained, meaningful and in-depth consultation with stakeholders is a prerequisite to the development of a rights-respecting framework. The signing organisations urge the BTRC to engage in such a process prior to developing regulations for intermediaries and digital services that would impact people’s rights and freedoms, and indeed democracy itself.
