Residents in Daulatkhan, Bhola, have raised allegations against a local Jubo Dal leader, claiming intimidation, harassment, and abuse of political influence.
Critics say such incidents reflect a troubling political culture at the grassroots level, with questions now being directed at party leadership over accountability.
The situation has renewed debate about law, order, and political responsibility.

ICT Prosecutor Alleges Corruption Against Tribunal Leaders
A prosecutor at the International Crimes Tribunal has publicly accused former chief prosecutor Tajul Islam and fellow prosecutor Gazi MH Tamim of corruption, money exchanges, and improper handling of high-profile cases.
The claims include allegations that a key accused in the Ashulia body-burning case was made a state witness after a suspicious visit by his wife, and that evidence-linked officers were wrongly turned into witnesses instead of defendants.

Tensions in Satkhira have sparked fresh concerns over political intimidation in Bangladesh’s post-election climate.
Local reports claim BNP supporters formed a mob and attacked a member of the Chhatra League following a political procession. Critics say the incident reflects a growing pattern of crowd-based intimidation since the change in power.
While officials have called for calm, questions remain about political tolerance and the safety of dissenting voices.
#BangladeshPolitics #MobViolence #Bangladesh
More than 1,500 cases related to the July–Aug 2024 #violence have been filed across #Bangladesh over the past 18 months, implicating more than 100,000 named and unnamed individuals.
There has been widespread reporting on how these cases have been used to target and detain political activists and leaders, often in the absence of credible evidence linking them to the alleged crimes. There are also alarming reports that police officers and unscrupulous political actors, primarily linked to the #BNP, have exploited these cases to extort innocent people.
Under the Interim Govt of Muhammad #Yunus, these cases were used to arrest #AwamiLeague activists and leaders en masse, subjecting many to arbitrary arrest and prolonged pre-trial detention without bail. Thousands have remained incarcerated for over a year, with little to no progress in their cases.
Now, the new government’s Home Minister, Salahuddin Ahmed, has stated that his administration will review the cases filed after 5 Aug 2024. Legal and political commentator @TheDavidBergman wrote an opinion piece in @ProthomAlo today outlining how the government could begin restoring credibility to the July–August 2024 cases. In it, he argues:
“I agree with the new Home Minister that a comprehensive re-evaluation of all FIRs relating to the July 2024 killings and injuries is necessary. Only those individuals against whom there is credible evidence of involvement in the alleged crimes should remain named.
The names of others should be removed from the FIRs — and if they have already been arrested, cases against them should be quashed. Inclusion in an FIR should depend on the existence of evidence meeting a defined threshold — such as photographic, video, or audio material, mobile phone records, or other reliable and verifiable information that substantively supports the allegation.
At the same time, this review process should not be left solely to local-level decision-making, which risks inconsistency and potential corruption. A centralised, independent unit comprising senior police officers and prosecutors should be established to oversee the review. Such a body could also coordinate with the International Crimes Tribunal investigations to ensure coherence and avoid duplication or contradiction.
The families of those killed and injured during the July protests deserve accountability. That accountability, however, must rest on a process that is transparent, rigorous, and evidence-based. It must not become a mechanism for shielding the guilty, nor allow innocent individuals to continue facing harassment or detention without proper grounds.”

After the 5 August 2024 political transition, an unelected interim administration took charge - reshaping Bangladesh’s political landscape.
The 2026 referendum and national parliamentary elections were held amid deep uncertainty, constitutional debate, and serious institutional challenges. Critics questioned the legality of the referendum itself, citing the absence of clear constitutional provisions.
Major voter-backed parties were reportedly sidelined, while allegations of electoral engineering, pre-poll ballot casting, misuse of state power, illicit funding, violence, and lack of neutrality within public institutions cast further doubt on the process.
Observers have called it one of the most controversial elections in Bangladesh’s 55-year history.
This report examines what these developments mean for democratic integrity, public trust, and the future of electoral governance in Bangladesh.

Just hours after reopening, the Tarakanda upazila office of the #AwamiLeague in Mymensingh was reportedly set on fire and vandalized.
Critics allege the attack was politically motivated, raising fresh concerns about escalating tensions and a cycle of retaliatory violence.
The incident has intensified debate over accountability and political stability.

ICT-BD Prosecutor Alleges Corruption and Irregularities by Two Colleagues, Sparking Calls for Proper Investigations.
A prosecutor of Bangladesh’s controversial Int’l Crimes Tribunal (ICT-BD) has raised serious allegations of #corruption and other irregularities against Tajul Islam, the immediate past chief prosecutor, and fellow prosecutor Gazi Monawar Hossain Tamim.
In a Facebook post yesterday, Prosecutor BM Sultan Mahmud alleged a series of irregularities, including illicit financial transactions and questionable handling of several high-profile cases by the two prosecutors.
These include the cases concerning the killing and burning of bodies in Ashulia, the firing on protesters in Chankharpul, and, most significantly, the decision to make former IGP Mamun a state witness in the case against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal.
Prosecutor Mahmud further alleged that Shishir Monir, a Jamaat-e-Islami–backed lawyer who also contested the recently concluded parliamentary elections on the party’s nomination, was involved with prosecutors Tajul and Tamim in forming what he described as a corruption “syndicate.”
News: https://t.co/btjWtqXNQ6
It should be noted that #SheikhHasina and Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal were convicted and sentenced to death in absentia by the ICT-BD on charges relating to, among others, the Ashulia and Chankharpul killings, based largely on untested phone recordings and the testimony of former IGP Abdullah Al Mamun.
Given that these allegations come from a fellow prosecutor rather than an external critic, they warrant serious and independent investigation. If substantiated, these convictions should be set aside, and all pending cases where the said prosecutors were involved should be subject to retrials in accordance with due process and int’l fair trial standards.

The Interim Government That Crashed Bangladesh’s Economic Confidence: A Nation Pushed Off the Edge
--
Bangladesh’s economic decline didn’t begin gradually — it began abruptly, right after the Yunus-led interim government took over.
A country that had enjoyed over a decade of consistent growth and stability under the Awami League suddenly found itself without direction. Businesses grew anxious, investors hesitated, and the clear economic roadmap that once guided national progress disappeared almost overnight.
Instead of bringing stability, the interim regime introduced confusion, hesitation, and fear. What had been a confident, forward-moving economy is now struggling to stay balanced, pushed toward uncertainty by a leadership that lacks both mandate and experience.
Investors Flee, Industries Suffocate: A Crisis Created by Unelected Leadership
Since the Yunus-led interim government stepped in, Bangladesh’s economy has been hit by a wave of distrust that is now spreading through every layer of the private sector.
Investor confidence has plunged to a ten-year low, and foreign direct investment has collapsed — with one quarter showing net FDI of just US$10.43 million, a staggering 71% drop from the previous year. This isn’t a market fluctuation; it’s a clear sign that investors no longer believe the interim authority has the competence or stability to guide the economy.
As investment dries up, the shock is rippling straight into the country’s entrepreneurial core. Borrowing has become more expensive, credit growth in the private sector is weakening, and businesses are increasingly unwilling — or unable — to take financial risks. This is where the collapse in confidence turns into real, on-the-ground damage.
Entrepreneurs and local industries are now being squeezed from both sides: rising production costs and shrinking demand. Small and medium enterprises — normally the engine of national growth — are cutting output, delaying expansion, and struggling to secure the capital they need to survive. Factories are scaling back operations, supply chains have become unstable, and market conditions shift without warning.
The transition from declining investment to a suffocated industry is direct and devastating. With no clear economic direction from the interim government, businesses are forced to navigate uncertainty that chokes initiative and drains momentum. What began as a collapse in confidence has now become an assault on the very sectors that keep Bangladesh’s economy alive.
Awami League’s Track Record vs. Interim Mismanagement
Under the Awami League, Bangladesh saw record growth, stable markets, rising incomes, and consistent investor confidence. Industries expanded, exports grew, and long-term policy planning kept the economy moving forward—even during global crises.
The interim government has undone this stability in months. Markets are rattled, investors are withdrawing, industries are slowing, and public confidence has collapsed. What was once a growing economy is now stuck in uncertainty, fear, and directionless governance.
Only Strong, Elected Leadership Can Restore the Economy
Bangladesh cannot recover under unelected experimentation. Only a legitimate, elected government with a proven record of stability and growth can rebuild confidence, revive industries, and put the economy back on track. Therefore, there is no alternative but an inclusive election—one that restores public mandate, economic stability, and national direction.
#BangladeshCrisis #SaveBangladesh #BangladeshEconomy #YunusRegime #YunusMustGo
The verdict against #SheikhHasina is not justice — it is a state-sponsored execution scripted long before the trial even began. A kangaroo court, a silenced defence, no witnesses, no cross-examination, and a verdict written in advance. This was never a trial. It was revenge — a political assassination carried out under the mask of law. When a leader is denied her lawyers, denied due process, and denied the right to defend herself, the court stops being a court. It becomes a weapon.
If this is “justice,” then what remains of Bangladesh’s rule of law?

The one who truly understands the pain of the poor is, Sheikh Hasina.
Whether she is in power or not, she is the one who has always stood closest to the poor.

Sheikh Hasina Once More

📷 Yunus Government’s ICC–INTERPOL Drama: The Politics of Empty Noise
----
The Yunus government— which came to power by removing the elected government through the July unrest— is now attempting to stage an empty drama on the international stage. The statements about pressuring the International Criminal Court (ICC) or India to bring back former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal are, in reality, nothing but reflections of the government’s political weakness and legal ignorance. There is no real possibility behind these moves; rather, they are merely a desperate attempt to keep their supporters motivated.
Talks are being made about approaching the ICC or the International Court of Justice (ICJ), but in practice, nothing will come of it. For any case or hearing to begin in an international court, the consent of both parties is required. If India simply says, “We are not willing to take this matter to the international court,” then there is no possibility of a case proceeding at all. India’s objection alone would be enough to automatically dismiss the case.
Additionally, India is a signatory to the ICJ with certain conditions. One of those conditions is that disputes between India and Commonwealth countries cannot be adjudicated by the International Court. Since Bangladesh is a member of the Commonwealth, the Yunus government’s application is not admissible in the first place. In legal terms, this step is entirely meaningless.
The possibility of an INTERPOL arrest warrant is even lower. Article 3 of INTERPOL’s constitution clearly states that it will not intervene in political, military, religious, or racial matters. Sheikh Hasina is a political figure, and the allegations brought against her are entirely politically motivated. According to INTERPOL’s rules, it does not issue arrest warrants against political personalities— especially when the allegations appear politically inspired or carry concerns of human rights violations.
Therefore, this attempt by the Yunus government will also end in complete failure.
The core intention behind this international drama is to confuse the public and boost the morale of their supporters. They know fully well that there is no legal or international route through which Sheikh Hasina can be brought back. But they want their followers to think that they are at least “doing something.” This government has no path toward political resolution, so they are wasting time by making loud, empty noises internationally.
The bottom line is: the Yunus government’s international theatrics are nothing more than a political tactic without any legal or practical basis. They know nothing will happen through the ICC or INTERPOL, but they want their supporters to believe otherwise. The people of Bangladesh should not chase after this empty rhetoric, but instead understand the reality. Because this government is playing only with words— not with deeds.

Bangladesh Awami League’s Continuous Programs
Demanding the Resignation of Illegal Usurper, Killer–Fascist Yunus and Rejecting the Verdict of the Illegal ICT Tribunal
— Protest, demonstration and resistance marches across all districts and upazilas until 30 November
⸻
Dear fellow citizens,
You have all witnessed how the so-called court established by the illegal usurper, killer–fascist Yunus and his clique has delivered a verdict against the Honorable Prime Minister and Awami League President, the daughter of Bangabandhu, Sheikh Hasina. You have rejected this farcical judgment with contempt, and you have protested against it wherever possible. On behalf of the Bangladesh Awami League, we thank you and express our deep gratitude.
With the courageous voice and support of the people, the Awami League has announced protest, demonstration and resistance marches across all districts and upazilas until 30 November, rejecting the illegal verdict of the illegal ICT tribunal and demanding the resignation of the illegal usurper, killer–fascist Yunus.
The illegal usurper, killer–fascist Yunus clique is conspiring to keep the Awami League and Sheikh Hasina out of the election. As part of that conspiracy, they staged this mockery of a trial in their own manufactured court. The Awami League is not only rejecting the illegal ICT verdict, but is also working at the grassroots, holding discussions with political leaders, stakeholders and people from all walks of life to break the web of plots woven by this occupying force. It is now clear to everyone that the Yunus clique is engaged in anti-state conspiracies. The people are ready to fight against these anti-liberation and anti-state forces. And the Awami League will lead that fight.
A tough nationwide movement will be announced to defend the country. A staged election excluding the pro-liberation forces, the Awami League and Sheikh Hasina will not be allowed in Bangladesh. It will be resisted at any cost, Inshallah.

Long live Bangladesh.
Imran, an 8th-grade student, targeted and labeled a political "opponent" by the illegal #YunusRegime. His sick father is weeping at the station, holding the boy's birth certificate.
This is not justice. This is a monstrous, vengeful machine weaponizing the state against a child.

Heartbreaking!
Journalist Monjurul Alam Panna, who was recently released from @Yunus_Centre' prison, has highlighted the horrific torture of Awami League activists in prison. They wont spare school boy. This is the reform of fascist Yunus.
Where is @amnestysasia @EUinBangladesh
.@SajeebWazed calls the ICT BD's verdict against Sheikh Hasina a "complete mockery of justice". He stressed to @IndiaToday that the trial was rushed and predetermined, and the most successful state leader of Bangladesh was not given the chance to choose her own defense attorneys. This unelected government has dismantled the rule of law, turning courts into rubber stamps for political vendetta, while protecting its own from accountability for killings.

Fifteen months of a usurer

Fifteen months of a usurer
Bodies in drains, rivers, and streets
- 4,177 murders in 14 months across the country
Is the law only for the Awami League?
——
Fifteen months have passed under “usurer” Yunus. In the fourteen months of this illegitimate government’s rule, Dhaka alone has seen 456 recorded murders, according to Dhaka Metropolitan Police itself. From last September to this October, DMP registered an average of 33 murder cases per month. Nationwide, 4,177 murder cases were filed. And this is only the number of cases. There are many more killings that never became cases. Human rights groups say 216 people were beaten to death across the country during this period. Police say crime has risen partly because 25 percent of the looted weapons from August 5, including deadly ones, are still missing. After coming to power, Yunus released top criminals, and the police can’t control them.
This is just a fragment of Bangladesh’s law and order situation. Under Yunus, there are more bodies in the rivers than fish. According to River Police data from October, 50 bodies were recovered in Khulna in a single year. Deutsche Welle Bangla reported that in 2025 an average of 43 bodies per month were found in rivers.
So many murders, so many bodies. How many criminals have the police arrested—or even identified? The rate is below 20 percent. Yet police have already thrown hundreds of thousands of Awami League supporters and activists in jail solely for political dissent. False cases have become a business, and Yunus supporters are attacking their homes, burning them, vandalizing them, and looting them. The law seems to apply only to Awami League workers.
Before the July militant attacks, the so-called anti-discrimination movement’s coordinators and their civil-society patrons sold big dreams. They claimed change was coming, that BBA graduates would run the country. They sang songs in groups to persuade ordinary people that they were the better alternative, that they were the brave sons of the nation. Those “brave sons”—their chosen rulers, Yunus and Asif Nazrul—are now killing people and dumping bodies in rivers and drains. Ordinary people are crying day and night, while the “BBA alternative” crowd is relaxing in luxury cars, new apartments, and with crores in their bank accounts. And the civil society figures seem to have been silenced with advisory posts, government roles, and money. Otherwise we haven’t seen this kind of silence from them in the past 15 years.
