Students in Chattogram declare ban on Awami League, affiliated bodies

Students in the port city of Chattogram have declared a ban on the Awami League and its affiliated organisations, including the Chhatra League, labelling them as terrorist groups.

Rasel Ahmed, a central coordinator of the Movement, made the announcement during a demonstration in front of the Chattogram Metropolitan Police's office on Saturday afternoon.

"Those who have committed mass killings, murders, and enforced disappearances against students and people of this country have no right to engage in politics,” said Mr Ahmed.

“Therefore, we, the students, from Chattogram, hereby announce a ban on the Awami League, Chhatra League, Jubo League, and all other affiliated organisations," he added.

Earlier on Friday midnight, the Chhatra League took out a procession in the port city’s Jamal Khan area on Friday midnight, in support of the fallen dictatorship.
