Dhaka Metropolitan Police Additional Commissioner SM Nazrul Islam said officers earlier detained over 500 party workers across the capital. Police claimed the activists tried to disrupt law and order ahead of next year’s national elections.

Last week, Awami League members staged a sudden rally in Beribadh under Hazaribagh police station. Supporters carried banners and shouted slogans backing former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Hazaribagh Police Station OC Saiful Islam said legal action will follow after investigations identify direct participants.

Awami League leaders accused the Yunus-led interim government of using arrests to silence political rivals. Analysts described the crackdown as a political vendetta. Several cases were filed against Sheikh Hasina and her party soon after her removal in August 2024.

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.
