Bangladesh’s interim government has banned all activities of the Awami League, the party of ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, citing national security concerns under the Anti-Terrorism Act. The move comes after widespread protests and mounting pressure from new political groups and Islamist factions demanding the party’s dissolution. The Awami League, Bangladesh’s oldest political party, is accused by the current administration of dictatorship and terrorist activities. This ban marks a significant escalation in the country’s ongoing political crisis following Hasina’s removal from power. The decision has sparked concerns about political freedoms and the future of democracy in Bangladesh.
