Following an emergency meeting of the Advisory Council chaired by Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus, spokesperson Asif Nazrul announced the approval of amendments to the International Crimes Tribunal Act. Under the amendments, the tribunal may prosecute and penalize political parties, their affiliates, or support groups. The Council decided to impose a complete ban on all activities of the Awami League—including online platforms—under the Anti-Terrorism Act until the party and its leaders are tried in the tribunal. The move is aimed at safeguarding national security, protecting July Movement activists, and ensuring the safety of tribunal plaintiffs and witnesses. A formal circular is expected in the next working session. The Council also resolved to finalize and publish the July Declaration within 30 working days.
