Tuesday night, protests greeted Bangladesh’s deputy director Muhammad Yunus outside of his hotel. Awami League and affiliated organizations gathered outside the Dorchester in Mayfair to demand that his administration be accused of violating human rights, hangings, deaths, and deteriorating law and order in Bangladesh. Protesters demanded his departure by holding signs that said he was the “architect of crowd rule, freeing terrorists, and jailing revolutionaries.”
Awami League legislator who fled to India after Yunus’s caretaker government started running was present at the opposition site because of false allegations that were made against him and that his home was destroyed. We are protesting Bangladesh’s illicit, constitutional government, he told TOI. We want good, complimentary, and all-inclusive elections that include the Awami League. In Bangladesh, we are never permitted to rally. Many of the people affiliated with the Awami League are privately displaced, and many of them have been victims of false accusations.” While Yunus is in London, King Charles has awarded him the harmony award, leading lawyers, including Steven Powles KC, have been working with the International Criminal Court to prepare a letter to the Yunus government to charge crimes against humanity.
