The High Court on Monday released a 37-page verdict ordering relevant authorities to remove the documentary titled “All the prime minister’s men” aired on Al Jazeera from all online platforms.
“We, as the children of this soil, are shocked and appalled by the reports that have been published against the head of state, the head of government and the army chief,” the High Court said.
However, there has been no visible steps on the part of the government officials to remove the news from online platforms since February 1, said the court as reported by Bangla Tribune.
The observation was made in the 37-page verdict issued by the High Court bench comprising Justice Mojibur Rahman Mia and Justice Kamrul Hossain Mollah.
The High Court has ordered the Bangladesh Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to request Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram authorities to remove the report from online nationally and internationally and not re-upload it.
On February 8, Barrister Enamul Kabir Emon filed a writ petition in the High Court seeking directions to stop the broadcasting of Qatar-based television channel Al Jazeera from Bangladesh.
