Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League has approached the International Criminal Court (ICC) demanding investigation into crimes against people associated with the party. Awami League has intensified a multi-pronged global campaign against the head of the interim government, Mohammad Yunus.

The Awami League Party has accused Yunus of unconstitutionally seizing power through violent rebellion as part of a well-planned conspiracy. London-based law firm Doughty Street Chambers represented the Awami League at the Hague-based ICC. The firm revealed last week that it had filed a petition under Article 15 of the Rome Statute, which gives the ICC Prosecutor the power to initiate investigations based on information received about crimes within the court’s jurisdiction.

The murder was committed by a violent mob: Law firm

Doughty Street Chambers law firm, in its petition, has highlighted allegations of murder of 400 Awami League leaders and workers since July 2024, many of whom were killed by violent mobs. “There are reasonable grounds to believe that the alleged crimes constitute crimes against humanity, including murder and torture, which warrants the Prosecutor opening an investigation,” Chambers said in a statement.

It said this communication is supported by witness statements (with video evidence) detailing the brutal murders. “There is no realistic prospect of a fair investigation or prosecution of these crimes in Bangladesh and this will result in impunity for the perpetrators,” the statement said.

Sheikh Hasina’s big statement

In her new audio statement uploaded on the Awami League party’s Facebook page late on Wednesday (29 October 2025) and publicized on other social media platforms on Thursday (30 October 2025), Sheikh Hasina said, ‘Awami League cannot be harassed through attacks and court cases, this will be proved this time. Awami League is a party formed by the land of Bangladesh and its people.

78-year-old Hasina is facing several cases in Bangladesh. He was ousted from power on August 5 last year after a massive student movement in the country. After this, Yunus took over as the chief advisor to the interim government.

Awami League Slams Muhammad Yunus: Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s party ‘Awami League’ has accused Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus that he spoke lies and wrong things in his speech. In his speech, Younus said that the next general election in the country will be held in April 2026. After heavy pressure from the army and political parties, Younus announced that the next general election will be held in the first half of April 2026.

Mohammad Yunus assured that his government is taking necessary steps to hold a right and fair election. Yunus also said that there have been bad elections at the root of the big crises in Bangladesh so far. “At the same time, Awami League said that Yunus is blaming the earlier government to hide his failures and creates a false atmosphere of crisis in the country.

Awami League made these allegations against Mohammad Yunus

According to a report by News18, Awami League said that Bangladesh’s economy has fallen victim to the fall of Younis’s interim government. Industries are closing, investment has stopped and unemployment is increasing. The party also alleged that the interim government is biasing corruption and tax.

Awami League claims that Yunus has been personally waived tax of 666 crore Taka, while Grameen Bank has also been given tax exemption. The party said, “In the name of development, this government is going to hand over the important properties and structures of the country to foreign interests.”

Awami League has given this appeal to people

Awami League said, “If we have to save the future of our country, now we have to fight unitedly. To defeat these anti -national forces, all the patriots will have to fight together. If we remain united then Insha Allah, we will beat this evil.”

The party alleged that Yunus’s government did not have democratic support and is working in the interest of foreign forces rather than public. It was also claimed that many members of the interim government have foreign passports and can leave the country in future.
