The National Parliament today passed a landmark amendment to the Digital Security Act in a historic session that drew attention from across the country. The amendment introduces several key provisions aimed at protecting freedom of expression while maintaining national security.
The bill, which passed with a two-thirds majority, includes new safeguards for journalists and whistleblowers, clearer definitions of cybercrime, and an independent oversight committee to review cases brought under the act.
Civil society groups have welcomed the changes, though some advocacy organizations say further reforms are still needed. The opposition party abstained from the vote, calling for a complete overhaul of the existing legislation.
