In a chilling display of authoritarian vengeance, the unelected Yunus regime’s Home Affairs Adviser, Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, has unleashed a wave of lawless persecution against Awami League members, brazenly ordering police to round up “Awami League criminals” regardless of any evidence, cases, or due process.
This despotic directive, issued on December 17, 2025, in Narayanganj amid aggressive protests by radical student groups, exposes the regime’s utter contempt for justice and human rights.
Facing a blockade of his convoy by agitators from Students Against Discrimination and allied factions, Jahangir capitulated to their demands, thundering at Narayanganj SP Mizanur Rahman Munshi: “It does not matter whether there is a case or not against Awami League criminals. You must immediately bring them under the law. If you fail, action will be taken against you as well.”
This is nothing short of a license for arbitrary arrests—a fascist edict that tramples Bangladesh’s constitution and echoes the darkest eras of state-sponsored terror.

This outrage unfolds against the backdrop of the Yunus regime’s vicious “Operation Devil Hunt-2,” a nationwide crackdown relaunched in mid-December 2025 to hunt down alleged “fascists” while conveniently targeting Awami League leaders and activists. Hundreds have already been detained in sweeps across Dhaka, Tangail, Jessore, and beyond, with police boasting of recoveries and arrests that reek of political score-settling.
The human toll is catastrophic: since the fall of the elected Awami League government in 2024, nearly 700 party leaders and activists have been slaughtered in mob lynchings and extrajudicial killings, many hacked to death in savage attacks encouraged by the regime’s inaction.
Dozens more have perished in suspicious custodial deaths under Yunus’ watch, with reports of torture and murder in jails painting a picture of systematic extermination. This is not law enforcement—it’s a genocidal purge designed to eradicate dissent and silence opposition voices.
By greenlighting warrantless arrests and fueling mob violence, Jahangir and the Yunus cabal are dragging Bangladesh into anarchy and tyranny, betraying the very principles of the July uprising they claim to uphold. The international community must condemn this barbaric suppression and demand an end to the regime’s reign of terror before more innocent lives are lost to their vengeful witch-hunt.
