Bangladesh’s Awami League has strongly criticized the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government over the treatment of its leaders and activists. The party alleged that women and other members have faced severe physical and mental abuse in prisons. False cases have also been filed against many leaders at all levels.
The Awami League claimed that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and other party activists are being unjustly detained. Some leaders have reportedly been killed through torture in prisons, while inhumane abuse continues. The party called these actions extreme and barbaric.
The party accused the interim government of using fabricated cases to harass Awami League members across the country. Prison transfers and humiliating treatment have been allegedly used to maximize suffering and intimidate activists. The statement called the practices shocking and unacceptable.
Awami League has urged international organisations and human rights defenders to demand transparent investigations into custodial deaths. Since the Yunus-led government came to power, at least 24 party members reportedly died in custody. The party stressed the need for accountability and justice for victims and their families.
