In a series of operations conducted over the past week, 56 leaders and activists of Bangladesh’s banned Chhatra League and other associate bodies of the Awami League were arrested across Dhaka, according to local media reports.

The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) stated on Saturday that, based on secret information, several teams carried out drives between April 19 and April 25, resulting in the arrests, as reported by United News of Bangladesh.

As part of a continued political crackdown under the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government, the detainees face allegations of “attempting to destabilise law and order” and “creating panic” among the public through sudden protest processions.
