Activists from the National Anti-Fascist Unity Movement have welcomed the decision to try the Awami League and its leaders in the International Crimes Tribunal, describing it as a historic move. The decision also includes a ban on all activities of the party until the trial concludes. Additionally, the government has committed to enabling party-based trials through legal provisions and promised to issue the formal "July Declaration" within 30 working days.

Tarique Rahman declared that pro-democracy citizens of Bangladesh are united on two fronts: ensuring the nation never becomes a client state again and preventing the return of fugitive anti-democracy forces. He called for legal action against those who repeatedly violated the constitution and formed illegitimate governments. "The people of Bangladesh reject the rehabilitation of these defeated, fugitive forces responsible for disappearances, murders, corruption, and money laundering," he stated. He urged for democratic norms and practices to be institutionalized, ensuring a democratic state that includes all religions and communities.

Following an emergency meeting of the Advisory Council chaired by Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus, spokesperson Asif Nazrul announced the approval of amendments to the International Crimes Tribunal Act. Under the amendments, the tribunal may prosecute and penalize political parties, their affiliates, or support groups. The Council decided to impose a complete ban on all activities of the Awami League—including online platforms—under the Anti-Terrorism Act until the party and its leaders are tried in the tribunal. The move is aimed at safeguarding national security, protecting July Movement activists, and ensuring the safety of tribunal plaintiffs and witnesses. A formal circular is expected in the next working session. The Council also resolved to finalize and publish the July Declaration within 30 working days.

Members of the National Unity Against Fascism have moved from Shahbagh to the InterContinental Hotel intersection, blocking the road leading from Shahbagh to Farmgate. Meanwhile, police have set up barricades and remain on high alert on Minto Road. Earlier, at 8 PM, Hasnat Abdullah issued a one-hour ultimatum demanding a ban on the Awami League, saying, "We have yet to receive a roadmap from the interim government. If we do not get a clear announcement within the hour, we will declare a 'March to Jamuna.'"

Gano Adhikar Parishad submitted a memorandum to the Chief Adviser demanding an official ban on the "fascist" Awami League. The letter also called for justice for state-backed killings, state reform, rehabilitation of the injured, compensation for martyrs' families, and publication of a verified list of victims.

Ashraf Siddiqui Bitu, Assistant Press Secretary to Sheikh Hasina, and former MP Shamima Akhter Khanam have been arrested. Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Branch (DB) apprehended them from Jigatola on Saturday. Deputy Commissioner Talebur Rahman said multiple cases involving murder and attempted murder during recent uprisings have been filed against them, and legal proceedings are underway.

Protest leader Hasnat Abdullah announced the "March to Jamuna" movement during a mass gathering at Shahbagh, citing the government's failure to provide a clear roadmap for banning the Awami League. Around 8:45 PM Saturday, he declared that the protesters would now move toward the Hotel Intercontinental junction after the government's silence during the previously set deadline.

Saiful Haque, leader of the Revolutionary Workers Party, remarked that the political downfall of the Awami League occurred during the August 5 mass uprising. He argued that banning the party through executive orders is not a long-term solution and may even generate sympathy for the AL. Instead, he called for complete political, economic, and cultural isolation of the party to render it ineffective. Haque also criticized former President Abdul Hamid's departure from the country.

Dr. Zubaida Rahman visited the grave of her brother-in-law Arafat Rahman Koko at Banani Cemetery on Saturday. She recited verses from the Holy Quran and offered prayers. Koko’s wife, Sharmila Rahman Sithi, accompanied her. Arafat Rahman Koko, a sports organizer and son of former President Ziaur Rahman, died of cardiac arrest in Kuala Lumpur on January 24, 2015, leaving behind his wife and two daughters.

BNP leader Gayeshwar Chandra Roy stated that banning political parties is not a solution to national problems, which are primarily psychological. He recalled the demise of historical parties like the Muslim League and JASAD, warning that any party acting against the people's interest naturally dissolves. “Those seeking to ban the Awami League today may try to ban the BNP tomorrow. Who can guarantee otherwise?” he asked. Roy emphasized that the people should decide which parties are acceptable and which should be politically sidelined.

US President Donald Trump announced that India and Pakistan have reached a full and immediate ceasefire following overnight negotiations brokered by the United States. "Congratulations to both nations for their wisdom and foresight," Trump said. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that the two sides have agreed to meet at a neutral location and that he has personally spoken to the top leadership of both countries over the past 48 hours.

BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi accused the interim government of following in Sheikh Hasina’s footsteps by crafting political narratives. “Law enforcement is raiding the home of Suman, who disappeared 15 years ago, while a murder-accused former president escapes through the airport unnoticed,” he said. Rizvi questioned whether the current regime is covertly rehabilitating fascist elements. He added, “When elected governments exist, they are answerable to the people—Sheikh Hasina never was. Her intent was to cling to power at all costs. Now the same tactics are repeating themselves.” He also highlighted ongoing power outages in Adabor, asking, “Whom do we hold accountable without an elected authority?”

People’s Uprising leader Hasnat Abdullah declared that all future protest programs will be organized under the banner of “National Anti-Fascist Unity.” In a public address, he said, “The fascist Awami League has faced street protests for the last two days. Despite citizen resistance, the interim government has not yet banned this terror-driven party.” He criticized attempts to discredit the movement and clarified that it is not affiliated with any single party or ideology. “Students, political groups, and social organizations from all levels have come together. We urge everyone to join us in this cause.”

Protesters blocked the Dhaka-Chattogram highway near Dania College in Jatrabari around 11 AM on Saturday, demanding an official ban on the Awami League for alleged genocide. The demonstrators declared they would vacate the road only if a formal government notice was issued. Activists from NCP, Chhatra Shibir, Khelafat Majlish, Islami Oikya Jote, and other groups joined the protest with slogans and chants.

In a public statement, Central President of Islami Chhatra Shibir, Zahidul Islam, emphasized the power of national unity in dismantling fascism. Referring to the ongoing anti-government protests, he said, “The July uprising belongs to everyone. This movement to uproot fascism does not belong to any individual or party—we all carry the spirit of July. We demand justice for every massacre carried out by the Awami regime and seek to destroy the roots of fascism.” Zahidul stressed that national unity makes even the most difficult goals attainable and called for a collective movement beyond temporary interests. “Our vision is firm, our dream far-reaching. Insha’Allah, we will succeed—because we are believers. May Allah help us all. Ameen.”
