Restrictions of Freedom of Speech in Bangladesh
Most countries in the world, including Purba Bangla (or Bangladesh), even if they claim to be “democracies”, do not allow the freedoms of speech and of the press to be extended to revolutionaries and their organizations and sympathizers. Even where they do occasionally permit revolutionary ideas to be published, they find ways—economic or otherwise—to greatly restrict their distribution so that most of the masses never see or hear such ideas. There can be no true democracy or freedom where only the ideas acceptable to the exploiting ruling class are allowed to reach the people. For this reason we at BANNEDTHOUGHT.NET will attempt to present such suppressed or partially suppressed documents here on this website.
