The Press Wing of the Chief Adviser clarified that the government’s ban on the activities of the Awami League (AL) does not infringe on freedom of expression. The statement emphasized that constructive, legal, or rational opinions or analyses regarding the party or government actions toward it are not restricted under the notification. It further added that the AL and its affiliated organizations face serious allegations of enforced disappearances, murders, torture, terrorism, and crimes against humanity—especially during the last 15 years, including the recent uprising. The temporary suspension of AL's activities prior to judicial review does not limit other political parties or individuals' rights to free expression.
