The International Crimes Tribunal has imposed a ban on the dissemination of inflammatory remarks by Awami League President and former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the media and on social media platforms.
A three-member bench, led by Tribunal Chairman Justice Mohammad Golam Mortuza, issued the order on Thursday.
The Tribunal also directed the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to remove the remarks from digital platforms.
Earlier on Thursday, the prosecution filed a petition with the Tribunal requesting a ban on the circulation of Sheikh Hasina's controversial statements.
Prosecutors argued that Sheikh Hasina, who is wanted for charges related to genocide and crimes against humanity, has been making provocative statements while living in exile in India.
The petition specifically sought to block any statements by her that incite hatred against the country, its people, or the current government on social media and in the media.
Earlier, on November 18, the Tribunal instructed a one-month investigation into Sheikh Hasina’s involvement in the July-August genocide case.
