Enforcement of Bangladesh's draft data protection law takes shape

The Daily Star reports on details of how the latest draft of Bangladesh's proposed Data Protection Act outlines enforcement. Under the latest draft, the government-backed Data Protection Agency will take charge of a register of data controllers and processors in addition to levying fines and bans for violations. The DPA will feature a five-director bench led by an appointed director general. The current draft also allows individuals the opportunity to appeal the DPA's decisions, a provision that was not included in previous versions of the bill.
