The Great Wave / Beyond the Shadows: Reforming surveillance practices in Bangladesh

During the July-August uprising, and in the decade leading up to it, the use of state and security agencies to surveil ordinary citizens became so ubiquitous that people self-censored on public technology platforms and migrated to private, encrypted messaging services. In response to these concerns, various civil society and industry groups are calling for the repeal of the Cyber Security Act, 2023 (CSA) and the dismantling of organisations like the National Telecommunications Monitoring Centre (NTMC) for undermining privacy and other fundamental rights.

Mapping the Rohingya refugee influx

As dawn falls on the cramped shelters at Balukhali Refugee Camp, the settlers find twice the company they had yesterday. Some with crying babies, some with bullet wounds, some without families, some without hope—they all huddle inside, outside and everywhere.
