Activists of the banned Awami League have reopened several closed party offices across Bangladesh, including in Chattogram and Barishal, defying restrictions on their political activities. In Chattogram, party members were seen reopening an office near a police station, cleaning a sculpture of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and chanting slogans. In Barishal, Chhatra League activists entered the district and city Awami League offices late at night, hung banners with pro-party messages, and left quickly. By the next morning, the banners had been removed by unknown persons.
Videos of these incidents circulated on social media, sparking widespread reaction. In Chattogram, student groups later set fire to the reopened office building after protests. Opposition figures and civic groups questioned how banned party activists could gather near police offices without intervention. Police said no arrests had been made but that they were working to identify those seen in the videos.
Political observers cited in the report said the incidents suggest renewed Awami League activity nationwide following the national election, raising concerns about potential instability if authorities fail to act decisively.
