In a brazen display of political revenge, the puppet judiciary under the fascist Yunus regime has once again weaponised the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to deliver a dictated verdict against Bangladesh’s five-time Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, and her family members.
This so-called “court”—nothing more than a kangaroo tribunal rigged for retribution—handed down sham sentences in two bogus cases over alleged irregularities in plot allotments in the Purbachal New Town Project. The Awami League has rightly slammed this travesty as a premeditated attack, rejecting it with utter contempt and calling on the people to rise against the unelected tyrant’s endless conspiracies.
The verdict, announced on February 2 by Judge Robiul Alam in Dhaka’s Special Judge Court-4, reeks of flawed investigations, fabricated charges, and outright dictation from Yunus’ inner circle. It’s yet another chapter in the interim government’s desperate bid to humiliate the architects of Bangladesh’s progress while shielding their own rampant corruption.
Sham Sentences In A Rigged Trial
In the first case, centred on a 10-katha plot allegedly allotted to Azmina Siddik, the court imposed 7 years imprisonment on Azmina, 2 years on Tulip Siddik, and 5 years on Sheikh Hasina. A slew of government officials, including former Housing and Public Works Minister Sharif Ahmed and former RAJUK Chairman Md. Anisur Rahman Mia, also received 5-year terms, while one low-level accused got a mere 1 year. All 18 defendants were slapped with Tk1 lakh fines, with an additional 6 months in jail for non-payment. The plot allotment was summarily cancelled, as if erasing evidence of the regime’s own hypocrisy.
The second case, mirroring the first in its absurdity, targeted Radwan Mujib Siddik Bobby’s supposed 10-katha plot. Here, Radwan was sentenced to 7 years, Tulip to 2 years, and Sheikh Hasina to another 5 years. Again, a parade of officials—from secretaries like Kazi Wasi Uddin to RAJUK directors—faced 5-year stints, with the same fines and plot cancellation. Only one accused, Mohammad Khurshid Alam, remains in custody, highlighting the regime’s selective “justice” that spares its allies.

These cases, filed last year by ACC underlings on flimsy grounds of “concealing property” and “abuse of power,” followed a laughably rushed timeline: investigations wrapped in months, charges framed by July 31, 2025, and trials “concluded” with just 31 and 28 witnesses respectively.
No real defense was allowed; the proceedings were a farce, dictated from above to ensure guilty verdicts regardless of evidence. As Sheikh Hasina’s family has repeatedly exposed, the family followed every legal step—applying, allotting, and paying at official rates—yet Yunus’ minions twisted facts to fabricate crimes.
A Rejection Of Fascist Tyranny
In a blistering press release dated February 3, the Awami League minced no words, branding the verdict as the handiwork of “fascist Yunus gang’s obedient court.” The party declared: “This is no independent judicial outcome; it’s a naked manifestation of political vengeance orchestrated by an illegal, unconstitutional government.” They highlighted how, in a nation where lives and properties are unsafe, and victims’ families can’t even demand justice, such puppet rulings are pre-scripted and predetermined.
The Awami League rejected the verdict with “hatred-filled disdain,” protesting vehemently against the humiliation of Sheikh Hasina—Bangladesh’s development visionary—and her family. “These cases and verdicts are planned to demean Sheikh Hasina and her kin,” the statement thundered, exposing the regime’s revenge mindset.

They accused Yunus’ cabal of staging one theatrical sham after another through a compliant ACC and investigative agencies, all while the public sees through the charade.
Exposing The Regime’s Hypocrisy And Bias
This isn’t the first time Yunus’s weaponised ACC has targeted the Awami League with fabricated nonsense. Back in November 2025, Sheikh Hasina and her family decried similar verdicts in three Purbachal cases as “malicious” and “politically motivated,” designed to bar pro-liberation forces from elections.
Sheikh Hasina herself mocked the irony: while her family is vilified for modest 10-katha plots, Yunus hoards a staggering 4,080 katha in the same project, complete with a lavish resort – yet faces no scrutiny.
Sajeeb Wazed Joy, Hasina’s son, has been unrelenting in his takedowns. In August 2025, he blasted the ACC as “politically compromised,” calling the charges “completely false, baseless, fabricated, and motivated by ulterior political agendas.”
He challenged the regime: “Prove we own any other property in Dhaka”—a dare they’ve dodged, proving the investigations’ utter flaws. Joy accused the judiciary of being “intimidated” and under “strict control,” with no due process, no state defense, and rampant mob interference from BNP and Jamaat lawyers.

Previous reports reveal the ACC’s blatant bias: swift probes against Awami League figures, but sluggish or dropped cases against Yunus, Tarique Rahman, and regime cronies. Ex-secretaries have alleged massive corruption among Yunus’s advisers, yet the ACC turns a blind eye. As Joy put it, the commission has become a “full-time tool for harassing and defaming” under a chairman with BNP ties and a corruption-tainted past.
Yunus’s Revenge Mindset
At its core, this verdict embodies Yunus’ vengeful obsession with eradicating Sheikh Hasina’s legacy. The Nobel laureate’s “empire,” built on ill-gotten gains—including Tk6,000 crore in lands across Purbachal, Uttara, Chittagong, and Cox’s Bazar—stands untouched, while he unleashes kangaroo courts on those who exposed his corruption.
The Awami League warns this is part of a broader assault: false cases, arbitrary arrests, and planned hangings to crush opposition.
In the press release, the party called on democracy-loving Bangladeshis to build a united resistance against the “illegal occupier killer-fascist Yunus gang’s conspiracies.” Echoing earlier threats, they vow to foil any staged election excluding the Awami League, taking to the streets if needed. Expatriates worldwide have already mobilised, condemning the “jihadist regime” and demanding Sheikh Hasina’s return.
This dictated farce isn’t justice; it’s tyranny. As Sheikh Hasina urged in past statements, the ACC should probe the regime’s cronyism instead of fabricating charges. Bangladesh’s people, weary of Yunus’ bloodstained rule, must reject this revenge-fueled sham and restore true democracy before it’s too late.
