Protests Erupt in London Against Bangladesh's Interim Leader Muhammad Yunus

Protests Against Yunus in London

Muhammad Yunus, the head of Bangladesh's interim government, encountered significant backlash as hundreds of British Bangladeshis rallied in protest, chanting slogans like 'Go Back!' The UK branch of the Awami League criticized Yunus' administration for worsening law and order, incidents of lynching, and human rights abuses.

As reported, demonstrators gathered outside the Dorchester Hotel in Mayfair, brandishing signs that read 'architect of mob rule' and 'jailing patriots.'

In an interview, an Awami League member claimed the protests were against an 'unconstitutional government.' He emphasized the need for the Awami League's participation in the upcoming elections, advocating for a 'free and fair' electoral process, and lamented that protests were being suppressed in Bangladesh.

Yunus was in London to receive a harmony award from Prince Charles, while some lawyers are reportedly preparing to take legal action against his government at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged crimes against humanity.

Student political factions linked to the now-banned Awami League have voiced strong disapproval. Saddam Hussain, the President of the Bangladesh Students League, labeled the situation a 'state-sponsored drama,' asserting that the current government lacks legitimacy and control.

'Elections are not this government's priority; it's merely a state-sponsored performance for their benefit. They have banned the Awami League. The people of Bangladesh are yearning for a democratic leader. The current regime has lost control over law and order. To restore democracy, we must remove this fascist government. Muhammad Yunus is manipulating state resources for personal gain,' he stated.
