Awami League Calls for United Resistance Against ‘Fascist’ Repression

Staff Reporter

The Bangladesh Awami League has issued a statement strongly condemning what it described as the “fascist” oppression and persecution by the interim government.

The party accused the Yunus government of illegally and unconstitutionally seizing power and using state machinery for personal gain while violating fundamental rights. The statement alleged that the government, devoid of accountability, has stripped citizens of their democratic rights and freedom of expression, imposing itself on the people through domestic and international conspiracies.

The Awami League highlighted a series of actions against democracy, claiming widespread protests have emerged against these undemocratic practices. They accused the government of suppressing dissent through mass arrests and intimidation but affirmed that party leaders and activists remain steadfast in their fight to restore democratic rights.

The statement reiterated that the party’s announced programs to restore democracy have garnered significant public support. It warned the government to cease mass arrests immediately and release political prisoners unconditionally, or risk facing intensified movements that could lead to its downfall.

The Awami League concluded by urging the nation to unite against oppression, invoking the spirit of democracy with the slogan, “Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu, Long Live Bangladesh.”
