Human Chain and Protest Rally in Germany on Awami League’s Founding Anniversary

German Correspondent

On the occasion of the 76th founding anniversary of Bangladesh Awami League, the Germany Awami League will organize a human chain and protest rally in front of Berlin’s historic Brandenburg Gate on Monday, June 23.

The main objectives of this event are to protest the ban on all activities of Bangladesh Awami League—the party that led the Liberation War and symbolizes people’s hopes—and to strongly demand the resignation of the illegal, unconstitutional, and fascist Yunus government, which has destroyed Bangladesh’s democratic and constitutional order by seizing power.

The human chain and protest rally will begin at 1:00 PM local time at Pariser Platz 10117, Berlin, Germany (in front of the Brandenburg Gate).

Bangladesh Awami League President Sheikh Hasina will virtually attend as the chief guest and deliver a speech. Organizers stated that her participation will inspire and energize expatriates.

In a press release, Germany Awami League emphasized that expatriate Bangladeshis should not remain silent amid the current political crisis in Bangladesh.

They said, “Our connection with Bangladesh’s soil and people is spiritual—we feel a deep responsibility toward our beloved motherland. Those who have banned the activities of Awami League, which upholds Bangabandhu’s ideals, are fighting against history and betraying the people.”

The rally invites participation from Germany Awami League leaders and activists, as well as local expatriate Bangladeshi communities, organizations upholding the spirit of the Liberation War, and democracy-conscious citizens.

On the founding anniversary, organizers added that Bangladesh Awami League is not just a political party but part of the Bengali nation’s identity. Born on June 23, 1949, this party has led the nation through the Language Movement, the Liberation War, the establishment of democracy, and development. Those trying to erase this historic organization also threaten the country’s sovereignty, democracy, and constitution.

Germany Awami League has called upon all democratic and freedom-loving expatriate Bangladeshis to join the human chain and protest rally in solidarity.

A final message—patriotism knows no geographical boundaries. Even abroad, we must stand firm for our motherland’s freedom and democracy.
