A writ petition has been filed in the High Court seeking a travel ban on Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Adviser of the interim government, and all former advisers. The petition was submitted on Sunday, May 17, 2026, by Supreme Court lawyer Barrister M Ashraful Islam. It accuses the authorities of failing to ensure measles vaccination and requests the formation of an investigation committee to examine the alleged transfer of the vaccination program from state management to the private sector. The Cabinet Secretary, Health Secretary, Home Secretary, Public Administration Secretary, and the Director General of the Directorate General of Health Services have been named as respondents.
Earlier, on April 6, Barrister Ashraful Islam had sent a legal notice demanding the creation of an investigation committee and the imposition of a travel ban on Dr. Yunus and the advisers within five days. The notice warned of legal action if no steps were taken. The petitioner stated that a widespread measles outbreak has re-emerged in the country, resulting in the deaths of over a hundred children and hospitalizations of many others.
The High Court is expected to review the petition and determine whether to issue directives regarding the requested travel restrictions and investigation.
