Awami League Warns Of Escalating Human Rights Violations In Bangladesh Under Yunus Regime | World News

DHAKA: Bangladesh’s Awami League Party expressed a serious concern about the worsening of human rights violations under the leadership of Muhammad Yunus, ‘Journalists are hunting like criminals, activists are the enemies of the state, and ordinary citizens now live in fear of the gangs dictating justice.

In a report titled “Bangladesh’s Human Rights Crisis: Sounds Silen, Freedoms Crushed, Fear Everywhere”, the party, harassment, arbitrary arrests and disappearance of journalists, writers and human rights activists have reached non -similar levels in Bangladesh.

“Between August 2024 and July 2025, 496 journalists were subjected to harassment, three of them lost their lives on the task line. The scores of the media workers are constantly threatening, court calls and intimidation, creating a climate in which the speech is a dangerous choice,” he said.

After the post of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the party emphasized the persecution of journalists throughout the country, and said that the oppression was dragged to the courts of “drowned murder and attack accusations bağlı attached to the events where journalists and writers have no participation.

According to the report, Dakka, Sylhet, Chattogram and dozens of other regions, both experienced and local correspondent journalists, “many of them are in fabrication cases depending on past political unrest”. This is often underlined an organized effort to “blame free thought and scare the press”, which often refer to rotten or contradictory “witness witnesses”.

The party also stated that the report documented 258 joint attacks against minorities in Bangladesh in the first half of 2025.

“In Rangpur District, Hindu Families Watched Helplessly As their Homes Were Set Ablaze, Looted, and Demolished by Frenzied Attackers. Guaranteed Place of Safety in the Country, Victims, which dare, forced into displacement with the reports.

The party referring to the reports that reveal a disturbing pattern of violence against women in Bangladesh from all over the country, emphasized the existence of women’s existence not only for political relations or professions, but not only by the “narrow, suffocating standards dictated by extreme ideology”.

The report said, “Girls and professionals were attacked for clothing choices, harassed for talking about their minds, and beaten for challenging radical narratives. Even the ordinary women on the streets did not survive, harassment, attacks and threats became routine, and the survival created a silence.

The parties claiming that the Bangladeshis could not fight alone called on the global community, including the UN, Human Rights organs and international media, to take action before the whole nation drowned in pressure.
