Bangladesh tribunal bans broadcast of Sheikh Hasina's speeches deemed as hate speech.

The International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh has banned the broadcast and dissemination of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's "hate speech" in media and on social platforms. The tribunal instructed the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission to remove her speeches, which have been deemed to intimidate witnesses and hinder legal proceedings. The ban follows her recent speech accusing the interim government of targeting religious minorities and failing to protect them. Hasina faces charges including "mass murder" of protesters during the August revolution that ousted her from power.
