Freedom of expression is a fundamental pillar of democracy, allowing everyone to participate in public affairs. It is recognized at international and national levels, including in international human rights instruments and domestic constitutions. Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) states that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and this is reiterated in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). In Bangladesh, the Constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh aims to build a socialist society based on democratic values, ensuring the rule of law and respect for fundamental human rights. However, religion and media owners' influence on journalists hinder the full realization of freedom of expression. The Bangladeshi government's tendency to suppress dissent on social media also violates people's right to information. International organizations and human rights institutions should focus on promoting freedom of expression on social platforms.
