Dhaka, July 31 (NationPress) The Awami League of Bangladesh has vehemently condemned the inhumane torture and killings of prisoners throughout the nation under the administration of Muhammad Yunus. The party has asserted that Yunus's government is orchestrating premeditated killings utilizing the full force of the state machinery, even within the confines of prisons.
In a shocking incident, valiant freedom fighter Yusuf Ali Mia, who was a member of the Madaripur District Awami League, Vice President of Rajair Upazila Awami League, and President of the Tekerhat Business Association, has reportedly been murdered brutally in prison. This reflects the disturbing mindset of Yunus and his supporters, described as psychopathic by the party's statement.
The Awami League criticized Yunus's regime, labeling it a fascist and murderous clique that has turned Bangladesh into a “land of death.” The party expressed that indiscriminate killings are rampant, particularly targeting Awami League leaders and activists, where cruelty knows no limits.
It stated, “The deaths of Awami League members seem to provide perverse satisfaction for this regime, which appears to have given itself a license to kill.”
The party raised alarm, asserting that no amount of pleas, protests, or appeals can dissuade this extremist-terrorist group from their path of violence.
Recently, allegations surfaced regarding the targeted killings of Awami League activists in several prisons under Yunus’s rule. Outcry has been fueled by a series of suspicious deaths and brutal treatment of Awami League members, which political analysts and human rights organizations believe are part of a coordinated operation by a Yunus-aligned shadow authority aiming to dismantle pro-liberation politics through fear and repression.
The party's statement highlighted that eyewitness accounts and leaked information have confirmed medical negligence and denial of care, leading to intentional deaths, forced poisonings, solitary confinement, and systematic abuse masked as administrative procedure.
The Awami League previously disclosed that at least 24 members have died in custody since Yunus assumed office.
