Bangladesh's Awami League condemned the interim government under Muhammad Yunus for suppressing protesters after a deadly aircraft accident in Dhaka. Police actions injured 75 students who received treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. The crash killed 32 people and wounded over 165 individuals. Demonstrators gathered at the accident scene and near government buildings demanding resignations from education officials. Students rejected government representatives who visited the site for inspections.
The political party accused authorities of systematic oppression and deception regarding casualty figures. Law enforcement deployed sound grenades, tear gas, and firearms against protesters seeking transparency. The Awami League stated that hundreds of thousands of citizens joined demonstrations, indicating lost public confidence in the administration. Officials allegedly prevented hospital access for patients while allowing political photo opportunities with victims. The party requested international intervention against what they termed brutal government repression of citizens demanding accountability.
