Bangladesh prohibits the political party of its former ruler

The interim government in Bangladesh announced on Saturday that it will prohibit all activities of the Al -Awami Association, the political party of the ousted leader in the country, Sheikh Hasina, under the anti -terrorism law in the country until many legal issues against the party and its leaders ended.

The government, under the leadership of the Nobel Prize holder, Mohamed Yunus, amended a law to ensure the possibility of an entire party experience in certain crimes, not only individual members.

Last summer, the authoritarian government of Mrs. Hasina was long by the student protest movement. She fled to India, but the Awami Association maintained a presence in Bangladesh.

When Hanat Abdullah, one of the leaders of the uprising last year, was attacked last week, the supporters of the Mrs. Hasina Party were blamed. This has pushed more students ’anger and demands a tougher work against Al -Awami.

“Our final goal is to see that the Awami League is banned,” Mr. Hasnat said during a protest on Saturday. “Even if I do not issue any other ads, do not leave the streets until the Awami League is banned.”

Hundreds of people, including students, joined the seat chairs or crutches who were injured during the protests last year, to the gathering and requested a ban on the Awami Association. Other political parties, including the student wing of the Islamic and Islamic Group Anolan and members of the Haifzat of Islam, an Islamic non -political pressure group, joined the demonstration.

On Saturday evening, the Minister of Law, Asif Nazirol, said that the government will prohibit “all activities” of the Awami Association under the leadership of the Anti -Terrorism Law in Bangladesh “until the party’s trials and leaders are completed in the International Crime Court.”

The court, despite its name, is a local court, and will eventually judge accusations that the Awami League members committed the atrocities during the 2024 protests. The interim government says the legal amendment is to ensure that the political party is unable to get rid of an individual member as a bad representative while continuing to support bad behavior.

The investigation committee formed by the interim government He said in December Mrs. Hasina has organized a mass disappearance within 15 years in power.

Separately, a committee for the presentation of facts at the United Nations said in February that at least 1,400 people, including children, were killed by law enforcement and members of the Mrs. Hasina party during the protests last year.

In a Facebook post, the AWAMI League referred to the uninterrupted nature of the temporary government in a comment on the amendment: “illegal government decisions are also illegal.”

In 2024, the student protests against the job reservation system grew into a huge uprising that fueled frustration and anger at the rule of Mrs. Hasina. The tensions escalated after the death of a protester in mid -July, prompting her administration to prevent the Internet, impose a curfew, and the arrangement of the army, the paramilitary forces and the police to eliminate the demonstrators.

Mrs. Hasina Bangladesh escaped on August 5, fled with a little difference from thousands of demonstrators walking towards her residence. Three days later, Mr. Younis was sworn in as a new head of government.
