BNP’s Barbarism Against Bangladesh Student League Members https://t.co/rHXTEvMYJR

Proud to be a citizen of America's 51st state. 🇺🇸

Hail our new Viceroy Ambassador Brent T. Christensen. The British East India Company ruled and devastated our region for nearly 200 years. Hopefully, the USA will do the same; two years and still counting.

[Bangladesh Watch @bdwatch2024]

This is what Congresswoman @RepGraceMeng said in a recent interview with @bdnews24com regarding the ongoing ban on the activities of the #AwamiLeague in #Bangladesh:

“If individual actors have broken the law, they should be held accountable, but banning a full-fledged political party is a matter of concern and can weaken the democratic process. Political differences should be resolved through political and constitutional processes in a democracy.”

Congresswoman Meng has long been involved with the Bangladesh Caucus, an informal bipartisan group of members of the U.S. House of Representatives that works to strengthen Bangladesh–U.S. relations.

On May 12, 2025, the Interim Govt led by Muhammad #Yunus suspended the activities of Bangladesh's largest secular political party, the Awami League, through an executive order issued under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), 2009, without any judicial process.

Following the formation of the new government, the #BNP-led administration retained this decision by passing legislation in Parliament, thereby giving statutory effect to a measure that jurists and rights activists have described as undemocratic and legally contentious.

Since May 2025, thousands of Awami League leaders, activists, and supporters have reportedly been detained under the broad powers of the Anti-Terrorism Act, a law which makes even online expressions of support for the party a criminal offence.

This @bbcbangla report examined the events surrounding the June 22 incident at Ashulia Ghat on the Turag River, where supporters of the banned #AwamiLeague reportedly came under pursuit after holding a procession marking the party's 77th founding anniversary.

The report is based on interviews with eyewitnesses, police, relatives of the deceased, and an Awami League participant.

The Incident

On 22 June, approximately 60–65 Awami League activists gathered for a procession commemorating the party's anniversary. According to one participant interviewed by BBC Bangla, the group planned to disperse by boarding a trawler on the Turag River in order to avoid arrest while leaving the area.

The participant alleged that after the trawler reached Ashulia Ghat, police and civilians in plan clothes attacked the group. He claimed the activists were chased, prompting many to flee in different directions, with some jumping into the river. According to his account:

- Seven activists initially went missing after entering the water.
- Seven others were arrested by police.
- Three of the missing were later found dead.
- The remaining four are believed by party members to be alive, although they were initially unaccounted for.

The participant requested anonymity, saying he himself escaped by jumping into the river and remains in hiding.

Claims by Arrested Activists

The lawyer representing the seven arrested activists told BBC Bangla that his clients alleged that information about the procession had been leaked beforehand. Police and local activists of #BNP and #JamaatEIslami chased and assaulted the AL activists after the trawler docked.

Some activists jumped into the river while attempting to escape. Stones were allegedly thrown at people who had entered the water.

An anonymous eyewitness also told BBC Bangla that he saw stones being thrown at people near Ashulia Ghat, although he left shortly afterwards because of fear.

Two local BNP leaders approached by BBC Bangla denied that their party members were involved.

Police Version

Police confirmed that seven people were arrested at Ashulia Ghat and that a case was filed against 22 named individuals and 40–45 unidentified persons under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

However, police rejected the other allegations. They claim that by the time they reached the area, the remaining participants had already fled, and only the seven arrested individuals were found at the ghat.

The Recovered Bodies

After June 22, four bodies were recovered from different locations along the Turag River, prompting widespread public speculation.

Awami League activists interviewed by BBC Bangla claimed that at least two of the deceased, Suman and Arif, had participated in the June 22 procession and had disappeared afterwards.

Families' Accounts

BBC Bangla spoke with relatives of one of the deceased, Suman. His family said that they were informed by fellow procession participants that Suman had gone missing on June 22. They subsequently searched the river and contacted police, being later informed that Suman’s body was recovered near Ashulia Bridge.

A relative stated that Suman's body had several reddish marks that the family suspected could be injuries, and that the eyes were missing when the body was recovered several days later.

BBC Bangla’s investigations found that Suman's Facebook account had contained several posts supporting the Awami League before it was later disabled.

Calls for an Independent Investigation

Human rights activist Nur Khan Liton told BBC Bangla that the circumstances require an independent investigation because several plausible scenarios remain unresolved.

He argued that while it is possible some activists drowned while fleeing, other possibilities, including assault in the water or deaths occurring elsewhere before bodies were disposed of in the river, also deserve impartial investigation. He said only an independent inquiry can establish what actually happened.

@deepscribble @aminulhoque1971 Thank you! We have got a huge response in just 3 days.

But the anarchists and propagandists of the Yunus regime and Jamaat-Shibir thugs are threatening the authors, the publisher, and the sellers with mob attacks, forcing two online shops to take down the book yesterday.

For decades, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Yunus had established his image worldwide as a friend of the poor, an advocate of women's empowerment, and a campaigner for microcredit. Through paid campaigns and by the blessings of his Western masters, he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for “alleviation of poverty”, even though there are no success stories of microcredit in Bangladesh or elsewhere, millions were trapped in long-term debts. His “social business” model is applicable only in philanthropic schemes, while the “Three Zero” formula is another farce. He became vocal during various political movements and election-centric stalemates since the ’90s, but he never ran for direct office because of his work toward depoliticization. Despite being a campaigner for Bangladesh’s independence, he never paid tribute to the heroic freedom fighters of the 1971 Liberation War until becoming the Chief Adviser in 2024 as a puppet of the Western powers. His 559-day misrule as the head of the interim government helped people see his real face. Many have understood how he had long been playing tricks from behind a mask to gain power and sell off the country's sovereignty while trampling the spirit of the Liberation War, defaming the martyrs and the heroic freedom fighters.

ঢাকা সেনানিবাসে মহান মুক্তিযুদ্ধে বীর শহীদদের স্মরণে নির্মিত শিখা অনির্বাণ নিভিয়ে দেয়া হয়েছে বলে নিশ্চিত হওয়া গেছে।

একই সময়ে তুরাগ নদীতে মৃত ছাত্রলীগ কর্মীদের মৃত লাশের ব‍্যাপারে মিডিয়াতে খবর আসা শুরু হয়েছে। ওদিকে পুলিশ বলছে এমন ঘটনাই ঘটে নাই।

দুই-তিনজনের লাশের ব‍্যাপারে পত্রিকাগুলো যা খবরে বলেছে তা টিপ অফ দ‍্য আইসবার্গ মাত্র। এমন কোন দিন নেই আওয়ামী লীগের নেতাকর্মীদের হত‍্যার খবর সামাজিক মাধ‍্যমে দেখা যায় না।

জেলের ভেতরে, বাড়ির সামনে, পুলিশ হেফাজতে, বাজারে, মাঠে-ঘাটে, নদীতে কোথায় না মারা হচ্ছে। উদ্দেশ‍্য ভয় ছড়িয়ে দেয়া সমাজে। বিরুদ্ধ রাজনীতি কোনভাবে টলারেট করা হবে না।

তাই দেশে আওয়ামী লীগ নির্মূল অভিযান চলছে। খুব নীরবে সংগঠিত হচ্ছে একটা জেনোসাইড।

দেশের কোনায় কোনায় উড়ছে বিশ্বব‍্যাপী নিষিদ্ধ ধর্মীয় সন্ত্রাসীদের পতাকা। শিখা অনির্বাণের আগুন নিভিয়ে দেয়া, দেশের কোনায় কোনায় খেলাফত কায়েক করতে চাওয়াদের পতাকা সব এক সুত্রে গাঁথা এটা প্রায় নিশ্চিত।

দেশে ইসলামী বিপ্লবের ক্ষেত্র প্রস্তুত হচ্ছে। বিশ্বকাপের জের ধরে পতাকা টাঙানো কার্যক্রম হচ্ছে গর্তে জল (জনসমর্থন) কতটা গভীর সেটাও মেপে দেখা।

বিএনপি-জামাত ২০০১-২০০৬ সালে ঠিক এই কাজ করে বাংলা ভাইদের জন্ম দিয়েছিল। এবারে সেনাবাহিনীর রেডিক‍্যাল অংশ (ক্ষমতায়িত) তাদের সাথে একই খেলায় যোগ দিয়েছে।

এর আগের বারে আন্তর্জাতিক প্রবল চাপ, দেশের ভেতরে আওয়ামী লীগের প্রবল বিরোধীতা বাংলা ভাইদের জেলে ভরতে বিএনপি-জামাত সরকারকে বাধ‍্য করেছিল। আগেরবারেও সেনা গোয়েন্দা সংস্থার এসবে ভূমিকা ছিল।

এবারে তারা খুব গুছিয়ে নেমেছেন। আন্তর্জাতিক খেলোয়াড়দের একটা অংশ চায় বাংলাদেশে ইসলামী বিপ্লব ঘটুক।

আরেক প্রতিবন্ধক আওয়ামী লীগ দৃশ‍্যত দূর্বল। নেতৃত্ব দেশের বাইরে। দেশে যারা আছেন তাদের মাঝে যারা প্রতিরোধ গড়ে তুলতে পারে তারা মরছেন সর্বত্র।

সেই ২৫০০ বছরের পুরানো রাখাল বালকের গল্পটাই সত‍্য হইতেছে। ফ‍্যাসিজমের ভূয়া গল্প শুনিয়ে আসল ফ‍্যাসিজমের যাত্রা শুরু হয়েছে।

Look what #Bangladesh has become. A mob is burning a young man alleging that he stole a mobile and the young man denying that he doesn't know.

[Mohammad Ali Arafat @MAarafat71]

Nazi-style targeted killings and torture began under Yunus’s watch and are still continuing under the BNP regime.

On the anniversary of the Awami League, a man over 70 years old was subjected to medieval-style torture by members of the BNP’s student wing in broad daylight. Despite being the victim, he was later taken into police custody, while those accused of carrying out the attack faced no consequences. If participating in a political rally is considered a crime in a democratic country, then the very definition of democracy must be rewritten.

The @bdbnp78 has embarked on a fascistic form of politics in which party-backed violence and state institutions are being used to suppress dissenting voices. One should not forget that the Awami League is a major political party with millions of activists and supporters. Therefore, the way Awami League leaders and activists are being killed in police custody and subjected to abuse and torture will have repercussions throughout society, and those repercussions could be severe.
