Awami League Accuses Yunus Government of Exploiting Bangladesh’s Judicial System
Bangladesh’s Awami League has launched a scathing attack on the Yunus government, accusing it of manipulating the judiciary and creating an environment of fear and violence. The party alleges that dangerous criminals and militants are being granted bail while dissenters face mob violence within the very walls of the courts.
Concerns Raised Over Bail for Criminals and Militants
The Awami League expresses deep concern over what it claims is a pattern of releasing high-profile criminals and dangerous militants through court decisions. This, they argue, poses a significant threat to public safety and undermines the rule of law.
Mob Violence Against Dissenters in Court Premises
Furthermore, the party alleges that under the Yunus government, Bangladesh has witnessed an unprecedented rise in “mob attacks” targeting individuals critical of the government. These attacks, they claim, occur in broad daylight within court premises, stripping away the fundamental rights of those facing what the Awami League calls “motivated charges.”
Dissenters Targeted with Fabricated Charges
The Awami League asserts that dissenters are often targeted with fabricated charges, and the subsequent mob violence serves as a chilling reminder of the erosion of due process and human rights within the country’s judicial system.
