A Dhaka court has granted a three-day remand for 13 Awami League activists in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act at Banani Police Station. Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Jewel Rana issued the order on Tuesday. Another accused, Md. Taibur Saif, was ordered to be produced before the juvenile court as he is underage. The investigation officer, Sub-Inspector Saiful Islam, had sought a seven-day remand for the accused.

According to the remand petition, the accused were arrested on June 13 from a microbus near Banani Navy Headquarters. Police alleged that they are active members of a banned organization and were distributing leaflets and posters aimed at tarnishing the government's image and conspiring to overthrow it. The petition also mentioned that on May 16, some of the accused had participated in an illegal procession near the same location. During the operation, police seized 24 PVC posters bearing Sheikh Hasina’s image, a motorcycle, and mobile phones.

Defense lawyers argued that the accused were not affiliated with any political organization and were merely watching a T20 World Cup match together on the day of the incident.
