Awami League condemns targeted killings of party activists in prisons

Dhaka

The Awami League on Tuesday severely condemned the targeted killings of the party activists in several prisons across Bangladesh under the Muhammad Yunus-led interim regime. A series of mysterious deaths and brutal repression of Bangladesh Awami League activists in various prisons across the country has sparked outrage and concern. Political analysts and rights groups assert that these are not isolated events but part of a well-coordinated, clandestine operation led by a Yunus-aligned shadow authority -- one that aims to break the backbone of pro-liberation politics through fear, torture, and elimination, read a statement issued by the Awami League.

According to the statement of the party, eyewitnesses and leaked reports confirmed medical negligence and denial of care causing deliberate deaths, forced poisonings or chemically induced cardiac arrest, solitary confinement and physical torture targeted at Awami League activists and systematic abuse under the guise of administrative procedure.

These developments point to a covert campaign to crush the grassroots strength of the party that led the nation to freedom. This silent purge seems to be a key part of the 'Yunus Doctrine' -- an anti-democratic blueprint disguised in the language of 'neutral governance' and 'technocratic reform, ' the statement added. Meanwhile, on Monday, the Awami League highlighted another jail execution of its leader, Ali Azgar. The murder of Ali Azgar exposes the brutality of the Yunus regime. Prisons have become execution chambers under the illegitimate Yunus regime -- where Awami League leaders are being eliminated with chilling precision, it stated.
