The Bangladeshi government has approved a tough new anti-pornography law which would see offenders jailed for up to 10 years.
It is believed to be Bangladesh’s first law specifically targeting the spread of pornography.
The legislation, which is likely to be passed by parliament, bans making or selling of any kind of pornographic material.
Those found guilty could also be fined up to $6,000 (£3877).
The move seems to have come about after a string of sex tape scandals involving female celebrities. Victims alleged their videos were doctored or filmed in secret to tarnish their reputation.
In many cases, the police failed to act against the culprits, saying existing laws did not enable them to prosecute those involved in production and distribution of the such videos.
