Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus described the 16-year period of autocratic rule as a “deep and painful lesson” for the nation in his farewell address on February 16, 2026. He said political activists had faced severe persecution, including lawsuits, enforced disappearances, and killings during that time. Yunus emphasized that this experience should remind the nation to prevent the rise of future tyrannies, the return of fascism, or the recurrence of extrajudicial killings.
He stated that beyond political commitments, fundamental reforms in the judiciary and state structure are essential. The interim government, he said, has prioritized reform programs accordingly. Yunus noted that several tribunals are actively working, with verdicts already delivered in some cases, and that the International Crimes Tribunal has begun proceedings on enforced disappearances and human rights violations. Some trials are nearing completion.
The Chief Adviser expressed hope that the judicial process would continue with impartiality and transparency, ensuring justice and preventing any repetition of past misrule.
