Bangladeshi’s interim government led by Muhammad Yunus on Saturday evening banned the deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasin Awami League according to the anti -terrorist Act.
“The official announcement of the Bulletin will be issued in this respect on the next working day,” said Yunus’s office and described it as a “Council of Council of the Advisors” or Cabinet, reported the PTI press agency.
What Yunus’s office said
The statement stated that the Council has decided that the ban will remain effective until the “Awami League and its leadership and its leaders in Bangladesh’s International Criminal Tribunal for the protection of the country’s security and sovereignty”.
She stated that the decision was also taken for the security of leaders and activists of the July 2024 rebellion, which eventually led to the exclusion of the Awami League regime together with the complainant and witnesses of court proceedings in the International Criminal Tribunal (ICT), PTI said.
At the same time, the chairman of the chairman Yunus changed the ICT law, which allowed the tribunal to try any political party, its leading organization and associated bodies.
Protests intensify outside the Yunus residence
This step came after members of the National Civil Party (NCP) created by students who, at the head of the protests that excluded Hasina last year, presented a demonstration outside Yunus’ official residence “Jamuna”. Activists set up a makeshift phase and offered Friday prayers at a protest.
“Our movement has begun. This campaign can continue one day or even a month. We will have to stay on the street until the Awami League ban is notified,” said NCP leader Sarjis Alam.
Support for Islamist groups
On Friday, the leaders from Jamaat-E-Islam, Islam CHhatra Shibir and Hefaz-E-Islam joined Friday and strengthened the size and intensity of the protest.
The government urged the protesters to maintain peace while the negotiations continued, and confirmed that it had already dissolved the student wing of Awami League and said, “The government has dissolved what is called the” terrorist League of Chhatra “.”
Later the protesters NCP forced the blockade on Shahbagg in Dhaka and sang the slogans against the Awami League. “Until the government announcement has been issued, we will not return to our home. Awami League will dig in Shahbagh,” Alam said, because media reports indicated that similar blockages have spread in different parts of the country.
