The tyrannical Yunus-led interim junta is shamelessly shielding the bloodthirsty murderers, arsonists, looters, mob bosses, and corrupt cronies who orchestrated the August 2024 coup, all under the guise of a despicable indemnity ordinance that spits in the face of every universal human rights principle.
This fascist cabal is barreling toward a sham national election on February 12 and an utterly illegal referendum, right after ruthlessly banning the Awami League and crushing any semblance of opposition.
Even heavyweights like the United Nations and the United States have rightly dismissed this farce, refusing to send observers to legitimise Yunus’ rigged spectacle. The US, UK, and Canada have gone further, issuing dire security warnings to their citizens, bracing for the inevitable explosion of violence and extremist assaults under this lawless regime.
A chorus of local and international human rights watchdogs, along with parliamentarians from the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, have been screaming bloody murder over the Yunus dictatorship’s descent into mob rule, bogus arrests on trumped-up charges, denial of bail, kangaroo courts in the sham International Crimes Tribunal (ICT-BD), the lynching of over 1,000 Awami League activists and supporters, the orchestrated enforced disappearance of more than 6,000 innocents, and the torturous custodial deaths of around 100 souls—all on the watch of that so-called Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, whose hands are now drenched in blood. Yet this murderous fascist administration arrogantly turns a blind eye, thumbing its nose at the world.

In October 2025, a blistering joint letter from a powerful coalition of international human rights groups—CIVICUS, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Fortify Rights, Human Rights Watch (HRW), Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, and the Tech Global Institute—directly slammed Yunus.
They grudgingly nodded to some token “reforms” but delivered a brutal wake-up call: his narrow road to the 2026 elections is teetering on the brink, doomed by unrepentant security forces, nakedly political arrests, and a sickening cosy-up to Islamist radicals.
And let’s not forget the UK-based Amnesty International, which disgracefully cheered on the 2024 regime change like a lapdog, staying mute as Yunus’s goons trampled human rights and shredded international treaties in Bangladesh. It wasn’t until January 28, 2026—after the bodies had piled up and the disappearances had hit epidemic levels—that these hypocrites finally coughed up an open letter to Yunus, feebly demanding “human rights guarantees” during the election sham.
The Open Letter
Bangladesh’s blood-soaked interim government must claw back some shred of public trust by pretending to respect human rights and the rule of law in the pathetic two weeks before next month’s rigged national elections, or so bleats Amnesty International’s Secretary General, Agnes Callamard, in her tardy open letter to Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, the puppet-master pulling the strings of this fascist nightmare.

Sent just ahead of the February 12 farce, the letter half-heartedly gripes about the regime’s relentless abuse of anti-terror laws to muzzle journalists, and its utter failure to protect the rights to life, personal security, freedom of expression, and association. It simply urges the interim thugs to “ensure that laws, policies, and practices fully protect” these rights before the polls—as if Yunus’ killers care.
“Bangladesh’s interim government had a mandate to restore human rights, in line with the nation’s obligations under international law. The coming weeks will be a decisive test of whether it will honour those responsibilities,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General—words that ring hollow after Amnesty’s own complicit silence.
“The authorities must uphold the rights of individuals and groups to speak freely—including during an election. Chief Advisor Yunus’s government must show genuine leadership by ensuring that all Bangladeshis can participate fully and safely in deciding their country’s future. They must ensure that the right to life is protected. No one should fear for their life for peacefully speaking their minds and sharing their views.”

Despite Bangladesh signing onto a slew of core international human rights treaties, Yunus’ fascist crew has gleefully ignored them all. This includes the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which demands freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and association—even during elections, you despots.
In the letter, Agnès Callamard snarled: “Unlawful restrictions on these fundamental freedoms undermine public debate and participation in the electoral process and weaken public trust in institutions.”
Too little, too late.
Since seizing power in 2024, Yunus’s interim tyrants have weaponised the barbaric Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) against journalists and anyone daring to criticise. The letter spotlights the outrageous arrests of Monjurul Alam Panna in August 2025 for supposedly “attempting to overthrow the interim government,” and Anis Alamgir in December 2025 for “spreading propaganda for the Awami League.” These blatant violations crush their rights to free speech and association, exposing Yunus’s regime as the true terrorists.
The letter also blasts the regime’s pathetic inaction after the arson attacks on media offices like The Daily Star and Prothom Alo, harassment of New Age editor Nurul Kabir, and the brutal lynching of Hindu man Dipu Chandra Das on bogus blasphemy charges.
Yunus’ fascist silence speaks volumes—a regime rotten to its core, built on blood and betrayal.
