Promised liberalism, delivered fanaticism -- Unsound Yunus regime unleashing chaos in Bangladesh

N Bangladesh, the legacy of punishment by the government in power targetting the opposition parties began after the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Presently, the culture of violence is deeply ingrained in the party system of the country. Several violent political incidents have occurred in Bangladesh with the weak democratic culture of Bangladesh having given rise to violent politics.

The rise in political violence has especially been enormous since Muhammad Yunus took over after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ouster. Since taking office, Yunus has been preventing the publication of real events through strict censorship in the media.

From July 16, 2024 to June 16 this year, barbaric and brutal murders have been committed in various ways. Some victims were burned, some hacked or beaten and others shot. Killings have also taken place in prisons and in the custody of law enforcement authorities.

Even as cases of extrajudicial killings continue to rise in the country, Yunus remains bent on extending the tenure of his unelected regime.

According to various media reports, at least 47 individuals have been subjected to extrajudicial execution since September 8, 2024. Human rights observers suspect the actual number is significantly higher.
