Bangladesh Bans Activities of Ousted PM Sheikh Hasina's Party

ai generated text

The Awami League, the party of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has been banned in Bangladesh. The interim cabinet made this decision under the Anti-Terrorism Act, citing the need to protect national security and sovereignty. The ban includes all activities of the party, both online and offline, and will remain in place until a special tribunal completes a trial of the party and its leaders over the deaths of hundreds of students and other protesters during an anti-government uprising in July and August last year.

    1. If all party activities are banned, in principle, this means that AL members and leaders would not even be allowed to convene meetings to discuss intra-party reforms or whether and in what form they should apologize for the 2024 massacre, if they wanted to.
    2. It is extremely important that AL leaders [are held] responsible for the mass killings of summer 2024 and other severe human rights violations, such as enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings under Sheikh Hasina.
    3. However, banning all of the AL's activities — and later potentially the party itself — is bound to severely enhance political polarization and will likely make it even more difficult for Bangladesh to break the recurring vicious cycle of political violence and repression.
