The BNP government led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has taken a firm stance on prosecuting the banned Awami League as a political party for alleged genocide and crimes against humanity during the July Revolution. The move follows statements from senior officials and progress in the International Crimes Tribunal’s investigation, which has found preliminary evidence linking the Awami League to atrocities committed during the uprising. Government advisers confirmed that the party’s activities remain banned by executive order and that the tribunal will determine its political future.
The July Revolution, which led to the fall of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024, resulted in at least 1,400 deaths and over 30,000 injuries, according to a UN fact-finding report. The interim government under Dr. Muhammad Yunus had earlier banned the Awami League’s operations, and the current BNP administration has since passed the anti-terrorism bill introduced by that interim authority. Analysts view the government’s actions as both a fulfillment of public demand and a reflection of its electoral promises.
Experts and academics have welcomed the government’s determination but urged faster judicial proceedings, warning that delays could provoke public frustration and unrest.
