The interim government has banned all activities of the Awami League and its affiliate organisations until trial in the International Crimes Tribunal is complete. The Awami League will now face trial over alleged crimes against humanity for its role in suppressing the July Uprising. So, Monday’s ban notification clears the way for the EC to decide on the registration of the Awami League as well. On Saturday afternoon, they held a mass rally there and raised three demands, including the banning of the Awami League. Later that night, Law Advisor Asif Nazrul announced the decision to ban the Awami League at a press conference.
