Bangladesh Police Ordered to Re-Arrest Bailed Awami League Leaders in New Cases

The police chief of Bangladesh's northwestern Rajshahi range has directed officers to re-arrest leaders and activists of the banned Awami League who were released on bail by implicating them in other cases. The order targets those capable of reorganizing the party and engaging in activities, while exempting others. This follows the interim government's ban on the Awami League after a student-led uprising toppled the previous government, with many party members jailed or in hiding. The police official stated the order did not specify any political party by name.
