Bangladesh

London (AFP) – Bangladesh’s election on Sunday will be a “sham” designed to cement Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s rule, exiled opposition leader Mr.Tarique Rahman has told AFP in an exclusive interview defending his party’s boycott.

Bangladesh is scheduled to vote in general elections on January 7, 2024. However, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, the country’s largest opposition party, is boycotting the election.

Engineer Abu Horayra, President of Private University Chhatra Dal of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), was detained on October 29, 2023, by law enforcement.

BNP’s JCD Private University Student Wing took to the streets on Thursday 09.11.2023 to protest against the undemocratic regime of the government, led by the Bangladesh Awami League (BAL).

Holding trial inside the jail is a blatant violation of the constitution and human rights
