**DHAKA, BANGLADESH** – The Awami League, the party of deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has been officially disbanded by the Bangladeshi government. The move comes under a newly revised anti-terrorism law, enacted overnight, just two days after the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus initially banned the party’s activities under the previous legislation. The swift action underscores the extent to which the current administration is consolidating power following the coup. Details regarding the specific accusations against the Awami League under the anti-terrorism law are yet to be released.
