Mass Rally in Dhaka Demands Ban on Former PM Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League

On May 9, thousands gathered in Dhaka outside interim leader Muhammad Yunus’s residence, demanding a ban on former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League. Protesters, led by the National Citizen’s Party, accused Hasina of undermining democracy and called for justice over alleged crimes during her tenure. Hasina remains in exile, facing charges of crimes against humanity. The interim government is considering the ban, reviewing UN-documented evidence of atrocities committed by the Awami League.
