Awami-leaning journalists held a public demonstration in front of the National Press Club in Dhaka on Saturday, marking their first open gathering since the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government a year and a half ago. Led by Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) leaders Sajjad Alam Khan Tapu and Akhtar Hossain, participants formed a brief human chain and later paid tribute at the Central Shaheed Minar. They demanded reopening of the locked DUJ office and release of detained journalists, sharing photos and videos of the event on social media.
The demonstration came four days after the formation of a new government and amid reports that banned Awami League activists were reopening party offices and organizing small rallies. The July Revolutionary Journalists Alliance (JRJA) strongly condemned the event, accusing the participants of trying to reintroduce “Mujibism” and destabilize the country’s new democratic order. JRJA demanded the arrest of those involved, alleging many were accused in genocide cases.
The incident reflects renewed activity among Awami-affiliated groups despite ongoing bans on their political and organizational operations following the 2024 uprising that toppled Hasina’s 15-year rule.
