Dhaka, Nov 25 (LatestNewsX) – On Tuesday the Awami League announced nationwide protests that will run through November 30. The party is demanding that the interim government’s chief adviser, Muhammad Yunus, resign and is rejecting the so‑called “illegal” verdict of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT). On November 17, the ICT had handed down a death sentence to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after finding her guilty of crimes against humanity linked to last year’s July protests. The tribunal also convicted two of Hasina’s senior aides: former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal was sentenced to death, while former inspector general of police Chowdhury Abdullah Al‑Mamun, who turned state witness, received a five‑year prison term.
In a message to the nation, the Awami League wrote: “You have all witnessed how the so‑called court established by the illegal usurper, killer–fascist Yunus and his clique has delivered a verdict against the Honourable Prime Minister and Awami League President, the daughter of Bangabandhu, Sheikh Hasina. You have rejected this farcical judgment with contempt, and you have protested against it wherever possible. On behalf of the Bangladesh Awami League, we thank you and express our deep gratitude.”
The party added: “ With the courageous voice and support of the people, the Awami League has announced protest, demonstration and resistance marches across all districts and upazilas until 30 November, rejecting the illegal verdict of the illegal ICT tribunal and demanding the resignation of the illegal usurper, killer–fascist Yunus,” it said.
It also accused the Yunus‑led interim government of conspiring to keep the Awami League and Hasina out of the upcoming election, claiming the administration staged a sham trial in a fabricated courtroom to justify its actions.
The party emphasized that it is not simply rejecting the ICT ruling but is mobilising on the ground, holding talks with leaders, stakeholders and ordinary citizens to dismantle the schemes of the occupiers: “The Awami League is not only rejecting the illegal ICT verdict, but is also working at the grassroots, holding discussions with political leaders, stakeholders and people from all walks of life to break the web of plots woven by this occupying force. It is now clear to everyone that the Yunus clique is engaged in anti‑state conspiracies. The people are ready to fight against these anti‑liberation and anti‑state forces. And the Awami League will lead that fight,” the Awami League stressed.
Finally, the party warned that any “staged election” that excludes pro‑liberation forces, the Awami League and Hasina will be denied and met with resistance at all costs.
