Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 64546, member: 636"] BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman stated that a court order under the previous authoritarian government stripped him of his speaking rights. Rahman explained that media outlets faced restrictions on publishing his statements, even when they wanted to do so. He recalled speaking at the Press Club but said the committee later decided to bar him from the venue because authorities labeled him a fugitive. Rahman noted that officials attempted to silence him through such measures. The BNP leader said he communicated through social media and other channels to reach people. Rahman emphasized that he continued speaking despite restrictions, but audiences could not receive or access his messages because of the prohibitions imposed on media outlets. [/QUOTE]
