Tasnim Zara, a leader of the National Change Platform (NCP), stated that no elections in Bangladesh will be allowed to include the Awami League unless justice is served for cases of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings allegedly committed by the party and its affiliates. “Our brothers are still suffering in hospitals—some have lost their sight, others may never walk again,” she said. “Despite all this, they still want to contest elections? Isn’t that a mockery of our nation?” She questioned how many more people must be disappeared or killed before the party’s registration is revoked or it is officially banned.
