Over 2,000 members of the Bangladeshi diaspora in the UK held a demonstration in Trafalgar Square on 15 September to protest the repression, human rights abuses and undemocratic activities exhibited by the unelected interim government in Bangladesh. The protesters marched from Trafalgar Square to Downing Stree...
Bangladesh’s interim period, under the self-proclaimed banner of “restoring democracy and stability,” has instead unleashed a climate of lawlessness, one in which even those sworn to protect the nation are not spared. Police officers, tasked with safeguarding citizens and upholding the law, now face assaults, threats, and killi...
Bangladesh stands at a perilous crossroads. Under the interim government of Muhammad Yunus, arbitrary arrests have become the state’s weapon of choice to control dissent and neutralize political opposition. From grassroots activists to former ministers, respected intellectuals to ordinary citizens attending a procession, people are detaine...
Bangladesh in 2025 is no longer a democracy, it is a nation held hostage by fear, violence, and betrayal. Under the shadow of Muhammad Yunus’s illegitimate interim regime, the promise of freedom has withered into a nightmare of persecution. Human rights are not just violated, they are dismantled. Journalists are hunted like criminals, activists ...
"The most effective way to destroy a people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history." — George Orwell In today’s Bangladesh, this Orwellian prophecy is no longer fiction; it is reality. On the morning of August 5, 2024, Bangladesh did not just lose a government—it lost its democracy,...
The Sheikh Hasina government arrested Jubo League leader G.K. Shamim for corruption — but this illegal government released him. The Awami League government arrested the killers of Abrar Fahad — but this government let them escape. We arrested those involved in the notorious Gulshan Holey Artisan terrorist attack — you release...
The country’s illegitimate government and its inability to govern effectively have drawn widespread international criticism.

As a result, foreign investors are hesitant to invest in Bangladesh, and the countr...
After the fall of the long-standing government led by Sheikh Hasina, the arrival of the interim government in Bangladesh was welcomed by many.

Sinc...
The ready-made garment (RMG) sector accounts for the lion’s share of Bangladesh’s exports and plays a critical role in the country’s economic stability. But since the July riots, this sector has suffered the most. According to a report in Daily Janakantha, from the time of the riots through the end of December (six months), over 100 factories sh...
In Bangladesh, culture has never been a luxury; it has been the lifeblood of protest, identity, and liberation. From the language movement of 1952 to the anti-Ershad uprising of the 1990s, every major political awakening in this country has marched hand-in-hand with art, poetry, theatre, and music. But in the wake of the Awami League’s fal...

What was once a rising star of South Asia is now spiraling into chaos—and at the heart of this collapse is an unelected regime with no mandate and no accountability. Bangladesh, under the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus and his circle of Western-backed technocrats, has veered dangerously off course. In the name of “stability...

Once celebrated on the world stage as a saint of microcredit, Muhammad Yunus now stands exposed as a master manipulator of state machinery. As the unelected head of Bangladesh’s interim regime, he was expected to uphold neutrality and safeguard the nation’s transition. Instead, he has weaponized the state to erase his personal legal ...
Ordinance No. 30, issued in July 2025, is a carefully crafted political propaganda document that seeks to frame a 2024 media-driven, foreign-influenced incident as an “uprising.” It was a period marked by the killing of thousands of police officers and the torching of state assets—creating instability and pushing the country i...
Since the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5, 2024, Bangladesh has entered a perilous new chapter—not only politically but culturally.

According to a report by JagoNews24:“Over 200 leaders and activists of the now-banned Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) were unable to sit for exams in various departments of Dhaka University this term.” And this figure reflects just one institution. The situation is far worse across the country, with schools, colleges, and universiti...
Today, blood is being spilled across Bangladesh—inside prisons, in courtrooms, on the streets, and in the hearts of innocent people. In today’s Bangladesh, the courtroom has become a death chamber for Awami League leaders and activists. Prisons have turned into death camps. And behind all of this, methodically pulling the strings, is none other ...
Awami League has strongly criticized Muhammad Yunus, the unelected Chief Adviser of Bangladesh’s interim government, for what it called a “humiliating and fruitless diplomatic tour” of the United Kingdom and Europe. The trip, which lasted five days, failed to secure any high-level diplomatic gains and sparked widespread protests among the Bangla...
Dr. Muhammad Yunus, globally hailed as a visionary for his “Three Zeros” — Zero Poverty, Zero Unemployment, and Zero Net Carbon Emissions — has been promoting this utopia across international platforms.
