The Advisory Council has given final approval to the draft of the Anti-Terrorism (Amendment) Ordinance 2025, which includes provisions to ban entities and individuals engaged in terrorist activities.The decision was made in a council meeting on Sunday (May 11) at the State Guest House Jamuna, chaired by Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus.According to the meeting summary, the original Anti-Terrorism Act 2009 was enacted to prevent certain terrorist activities and ensure strict punishment. However, the law lacked provisions to ban organizations involved in such activities.The amendment allows the government to officially list individuals or organizations suspected of terrorism in the gazette notification and impose restrictions on their operations. It also introduces provisions to prohibit their activities online and on social media platforms.The ordinance is expected to be officially issued on Monday, according to the council statement.
