Published on May 11, 2025The hurried announcement to block activities of the Bangladesh Awami League in cyberspace has exposed the desperation of the illegal Yunus regime to impose a manufactured narrative on the people of Bangladesh. The abuse of state organs to restrict social media handles presenting the Awami League is another tool unleashed by the regime to intimidate and silence independent voices and dissenters, a sign that the regime-sponsored narratives are falling flat. Turning the cyberspace free from any views that contradict regime regime-enforced narrative ahead of July August trial process is another arsenal to weaponise the trial process.
The denial of rights to express views to victims of Yunus-sponsored abuses violates all fundamental aspects of human rights, as guaranteed in international obligations and an affront to national constitution. With the use of the pretext of national sovereignty to execute the order, the Yunus regime once again proved their sheer betrayal with countrymen and rather endangered national security.
This despotic move came at a time when outright public rejection blew up heap of lies peddled by Yunus appointed spin doctors. Massive corruption by regime actors including Yunus have started to surface. Prior to this move, Yunus regime has strangled freedom of press with never seen before use of mob terror on media outlet offices forcing outlets to terminate thousands of journalists. In nine months, the regime weaponized judiciary and also criminalized hundreds of journalists in false cases while journalists had to suffer from unemployment.
As the media outlets in Bangladesh were forced to refrain from publishing statements of Awami League, the latest move to keep Awami League out of cyber space is designed to block the ongoing crimes against humanity against the country’s oldest party from appearing in public domain, proving the so called reform scheme only meant to serve Yunus’s vendetta, not to drive Bangladesh into a path of inclusive and democratic society.
