Cabinet approves draft of Cyber Security Act

The Cabinet today gave the final approval to the draft of Cyber Security Act, 2023 which will replace the existing Digital Security Act.
The approval came from the Cabinet meeting held at Prime Minister Office (PMO) in the city with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair.
"In the draft law, the offenses under four sections - 17, 19, 27 and 33, have been made non-bailable," Cabinet Secretary Md Mahbub Hossain said while briefing reporters at the Secretariat here in this afternoon after the meeting.
Replying to a query, he said the trial procedure of the ongoing cases filed under the Digital Security Act (DSA) will be run following the same law.
