Statement by the Bangladesh Awami League Thanking Leaders, Activists, and Supporters for the Successful Observance of the Program Demanding the Withdrawal of False Cases and the Unconditional Release of Political Prisoners, and Calling for an End to Mass Arrests

The Bangladesh Awami League is a beloved organization of the people of this country. Time and again, it has been proven that the Awami League enjoys the affection and support of the masses. Public support for the Awami League in the face of what it describes as an unlawful ban reflects genuine public emotion and sentiment. Whenever the Awami League announces a program, the entire country turns into a landscape of processions and demonstrations. In this continuation, public support was clearly reflected in the Awami League’s recently announced program demanding the withdrawal of false and baseless harassment cases and the unconditional release of political prisoners. On behalf of the Awami League, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the leaders, activists, and citizens who risked their lives to participate in these programs in what we describe as a Bangladesh where there is no security for life and property.

The people of the country have witnessed how Awami League leaders and activists have been subjected to severe repression. Their rights have been taken away. The party has been banned unlawfully. Yet, despite all these measures, the authoritarian ruling group has failed to suppress the Awami League. On one hand, it continues what the party describes as unprecedented repression against the Awami League, while on the other hand, today’s BNP government under the leadership of Tarique Rahman has failed to ensure public safety. According to the statement, following the legacy of what it calls the “murderous fascist Yunus,” a reign of terror has spread across the country, with more than 600 murders occurring during the government’s first 100 days. Bangladesh, the statement says, has become like a moving vehicle without brakes, and due to the absence of capable leadership at the wheel, the people face risks in every aspect of life.

Anyone who speaks out on behalf of public demands is met with lawsuits and attacks. Because the Awami League remains vocal in defending the rights of the people, its leaders and activists are allegedly being subjected to indiscriminate mass arrests, prolonged detention without trial, and the deprivation of fundamental civil rights. We strongly condemn and protest these actions.

Using state institutions and the judiciary to impose extreme oppression, injustice, and persecution on people is contrary to the principles of a humane state system.

We demand the immediate withdrawal of all politically motivated and false cases. At the same time, we call for the unconditional release of all political prisoners detained for political reasons and an end to the ongoing mass arrests, harassment cases, and unlawful detentions. Otherwise, we issue a strong warning that Awami League leaders and activists will continue the struggle to establish the rights of the people and an effective state system at any cost, even at the risk of their lives.

We call upon the people of the country to remain united in the struggle to protect democracy, justice, human rights, and constitutional rights.

Joy Bangla
Joy Bangabandhu
Long Live Bangladesh.

“Out of ill intentions and personal interests, the illegitimate interim government disrupted the vaccination programme while attempting to introduce a new system for vaccine procurement. And due to the incompetence and negligence of the current government, this disease has spread into an epidemic. At present, nearly hundreds of thousands of children in 61 districts of the country are affected by this disease. According to official figures, more than six hundred children have died, although the actual number is much higher. The line of deaths is getting longer every day. This is not an accident; this is an administrative crime.”

⁨📷⁩ ⁨3,500 Teachers Still Waiting for Justice in Bangladesh

More than 3,500 teachers across Bangladesh remain out of work, many without salaries for nearly two years, despite court rulings and official directives supporting their return.

Behind every statistic is a family struggling to survive—selling land, borrowing money, and exhausting savings while waiting for decisions to be implemented.

An education system cannot thrive when its teachers are left behind.

⁨More than 500 children reportedly dead. Over 62,000 suspected measles cases. Hospitals under growing pressure.

The measles crisis in Bangladesh is raising urgent questions about vaccination coverage, public health policy, and accountability. Regardless of politics, every child deserves protection from preventable diseases.

The real priority must be saving lives, restoring public confidence in immunization, and ensuring that no child is left vulnerable to a preventable outbreak.

⁨📊 100 Days of the BNP Government

According to figures cited by Transparency International Bangladesh, the administration’s first 100 days saw:

▪️ 605 reported deaths
▪️ Nearly 200 reported abductions
▪️ Over 3,500 incidents of violence against women and children
▪️ Dozens of reported rape cases, including 71 involving children

These statistics have raised serious concerns about law and order, public safety, and human rights. Beyond the numbers are real people, families, and communities affected by violence and insecurity.

After 100 days, many are asking: Has public safety improved, and what must be done to protect citizens in the next 100 days.⁩

Bangladeshis are already struggling with rising food, gas, and living costs. Now, electricity tariffs are set to increase by up to 20%, adding yet another burden on families and small businesses.

“Where are we supposed to get this extra 20 percent from?” asks Tania Begum, a middle-class resident of Dhaka whose monthly electricity bill is expected to rise by hundreds of taka.

Experts warn that higher power costs will push up production expenses, fuel inflation, and make daily life even harder for ordinary citizens.

When electricity gets more expensive, the cost is ultimately paid by everyone.

Criminalisation of #Bangladesh’s #History Continues Under the #BNP Government.

The criminalisation of Bangladesh’s history appears to be continuing under the BNP Govt. In a troubling development, 300 books on Bangladesh’s founding leader, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and other historical and political figures were confiscated from a mobile library in #Rajshahi.

It appears that Prime Minister #TariqueRahman’s govt is following the same path as the previous administration led by Muhammad #Yunus when it comes to criminalising the commemoration of historic events and individuals.

On 10 June, approximately 300 books relating to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and other historical and political personalities were seized by the district administration from a mobile library operated jointly by the Department of Public Libraries and Bishwa Shahityo Kendra in Rajshahi.

The confiscation followed a raid conducted by two executive magistrates after activists from #ChhatraDal, the student wing of the BNP, brought the library bus to the Office of the Deputy Commissioner. Led by Rajshahi Metropolitan Chhatra Dal Member Secretary Imdadul Hoque Milion, the activists reportedly complained that “the availability of such books was concerning in the post-autocrat political environment”.

News: https://t.co/y0zIRiaYT5

It goes without saying that such actions are alarming for several reasons.

First, none of the confiscated books have been banned. Under what legal authority, then, were they seized by the district administration?

Second, who is Chhatra Dal to determine which books should or should not be available for citizens to read?

Third, what comes next? Public book-burning events reminiscent of those witnessed in #Nazi-era #Germany during the 1930s and 1940s?

However, these developments should not come as a surprise to anyone closely following political events in Bangladesh since August 2024. Under the Yunus-led Interim Govt, even discussing certain aspects of Bangladesh’s founding history effectively became taboo. Historical symbols and sites associated with the country’s founding history were subjected to violent #mob attacks.

During that period, the BNP did not condemn such practices. On the contrary, many of its supporters and activists actively participated in these campaigns.

Since assuming office, the BNP Govt has retained all major decisions taken by the Interim Govt as regards historic commemoration such as cancellation of certain historical days. It has also arrested scores of individuals simply for uttering the independence-era slogan “Joy Bangla.”

Against this backdrop, the confiscation of books from a public library represents not an isolated incident, but part of a broader and deeply concerning trend: the continued criminalisation of Bangladesh’s historical memory and the restriction of citizens’ access to historical and political literature.

⁨⁨The biggest victims of BNP-Jamaat’s politics of vengeance today are Bangladesh’s students.
---
More than 500,000 students are reportedly facing disruptions to their education due to political intimidation, violence, and campus domination. Educational institutions should be places of learning, not arenas for fear and repression.

The right to education is a fundamental human right. When students are threatened, excluded, or silenced because of their political identity or opinions, an entire generation’s future is put at risk.

The international community, human rights organizations, and educational institutions must pay attention. Protect students. Protect education. Protect the future.

#BNP activists beat a #JuboLeague activist to death while tying his wife to a tree and forcing her to watch.

It appears that in #TariqueRahman’s #Bangladesh, the rule of law has been replaced by the law of the jungle. A Jubo League activist was brutally beaten to death by BNP supporters in #Jashore while his wife was restrained and forced to witness the attack.

The incident took place on the morning of 11 June in Chougacha Upazila, Jashore.

According to media reports, Jewel Rana, a member of Patibila Union Jubo League (the youth wing of the #AwamiLeague), was attacked by a group of 6–7 armed men led by local BNP leader Nazrul Islam and his son. The attackers reportedly beat him with sticks, stabbed him with sharp weapons, and left him with severe injuries, including broken limbs.

Jewel was initially taken to Chougacha Upazila Health Complex. As his condition deteriorated, he was transferred to Jashore General Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Jewel’s wife, Maya Khatun, reportedly rushed to the scene in an attempt to save her husband. She was assaulted, tied to a tree, and forced to watch the attack. In her account of the incident, Maya said:

“We were preparing to take our daughter to school that morning. My husband went to have tea at Muktadaha Intersection. BNP activists attacked him there. When I heard about it and went to the scene, I was tied to a tree. I watched my husband being beaten to death.

In his final moments, he begged for water, but no one gave him any. BNP leader Nazrul Islam’s son, Babu, even urinated into my husband’s mouth. I want those who killed my husband to face justice. Perhaps I will not receive justice through this country’s laws, but I have asked Allah to grant me justice.”

More than 24 hours after the widely publicized attack, no case had been filed and no arrests had been made.

Because this is what “rule of law” means for Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and the criminals associated with his party.

Bangladesh: Killing of Local Political Activist Raises Serious Human Rights Concerns

The killing of a local political activist in Jashore has renewed concerns about political violence, impunity, and the protection of fundamental human rights in Bangladesh.

Jewel Rana, a member of the Patibila Union Youth League, died on 11 June after being severely injured in an attack in Chowgacha Upazila, according to police and hospital officials. Family members have accused local activists associated with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of carrying out the assault, while police say preliminary investigations suggest the incident stemmed from a political dispute.

Regardless of political affiliation, the right to life is a fundamental human right protected under both Bangladesh’s Constitution and international human rights law. The brutal nature of the attack, as described by witnesses and relatives, underscores the urgent need for a thorough, impartial, and transparent investigation.

Human rights principles require that allegations of politically motivated violence be investigated without bias and that all suspects be afforded due process under the law. At the same time, victims and their families are entitled to justice, truth, and effective remedies.

The incident has also drawn attention to broader concerns about retaliatory violence following political transitions. Human rights advocates have repeatedly warned that cycles of revenge, intimidation, and politically motivated attacks undermine the rule of law and contribute to a climate of fear within communities.

Particularly troubling are allegations made by the victim’s family regarding the treatment of Jewel Rana during the attack. Family members claim he was denied assistance while seriously injured and that his wife was assaulted while attempting to protect him. These allegations have not been independently verified, but if substantiated, they would represent grave violations of human dignity and basic humanitarian standards.

The case highlights the importance of ensuring equal protection under the law for all citizens, irrespective of their political beliefs or affiliations. Human rights organizations have long maintained that political differences must never be settled through violence.

Authorities have stated that several individuals have been questioned and that efforts are ongoing to arrest those responsible. Human rights observers will likely monitor whether the investigation is conducted independently and whether those found responsible are held accountable through legal processes.

As Bangladesh continues to navigate political tensions, this case serves as a reminder that justice, accountability, and respect for human rights remain essential to preventing further violence and protecting democratic values. The protection of life, security, and political freedoms must apply equally to every citizen, regardless of party affiliation.

Rights Group Raises Alarm Over Detention of 49 Individuals, Including 17 Children in Bangladesh

The International League Against Arbitrary Detention (ILAAD), alongside JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF), has alerted the United Nations over the reported arbitrary detention of 49 individuals, including 17 children, following a political rally in Bangladesh.

ILAAD and JMBF argue that the arrests raise serious concerns regarding due process, freedom of assembly, and the protection of children's rights under international law. The organizations have called for urgent international attention and an independent review of the case.

The incident has reignited debate over mass arrests in politically sensitive contexts, with human rights advocates urging transparency, legal safeguards, and independent oversight.
