Bangladesh’s Awami League has slammed the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government, claiming it’s letting chaos spread across the country under the guise of restoring democracy and stability. In a sharp statement on Monday, the party highlighted how even police officers—who swear to protect citizens—are facing brutal attacks, threats, and killings.
The Awami League pointed out that these assaults on police in Bangladesh are happening way too often. “Officers get ambushed, trapped, and humiliated, sometimes losing their lives in ways that show a total breakdown in law and order,” the party said. They accused the institutions meant to enforce justice of being paralyzed or unwilling to step in and protect those who risk everything every day.
Since August 2024, when the Yunus regime took over, police officers across Bangladesh have endured targeted harassment and outright murders, according to the party. But the interim government hasn’t acted fast or seriously enough to stop it. “These brave officers put their lives on the line to uphold the law, yet the state leaves them exposed and helpless,” the Awami League added. They complained that complaints about these attacks rarely get filed quickly, investigations drag on forever, and arrests of the culprits are rare or nonexistent. This, they say, lets attackers operate without fear, as if the justice system is giving them a free pass.
The party also shared heartbreaking stories of the fallout. Widows and children of slain officers struggle to make ends meet without their main provider, while promised compensation, pensions, or government aid gets delayed, cut, or ignored completely. Families of victims—mothers, wives, and siblings—say no one from the government even bothers to offer condolences, answers, or accountability. “This silence from the state is as painful as the violence itself,” the Awami League stated. “It tells everyone that the lives of law enforcers are worthless, easily thrown away for political games or short-term stories about unrest.”
In a country like Bangladesh, where police—the guardians of safety—are getting killed with no consequences under the Yunus-led government, the Awami League raised a big question: If those who protect the law get abandoned and their killers walk free, who will keep ordinary people safe? The party called for real action to end this lawlessness and support the families left behind.
