Centre for Governance Studies (CGS) on February 17 said that Digital Security Act (DSA)cases are filed mostly out of political motivation, reports The Daily Star. Politicians, lawyers, journalists and academics in a webinar hosted by CGS criticised the Government for targeting dissenters and journalists with DSA and said that the law was being enforced to prolong a non-transparent governing system in the country. Most of the discussants said that the law needed a review while Supreme Court (SC) lawyer Jyotirmoy Barua said the law must be repealed to uphold people’s fundamental rights. CGS organised the webinar titled ‘Digital Security Act 2018: Who are the Real Victims’. A study by the CGS of the cases filed by the victims revealed that an overwhelming majority of people were not directly affected by the alleged crime. At least 80 per cent of accusers are affiliated with the ruling political party, revealed the study.
