The interim government of Bangladesh, led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, on Wednesday lifted a ban on Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and its affiliated organization, Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir.
Earlier this month, former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s administration enforced a ban on Jamaat-e-Islami, citing allegations of destructive activities, killings, and terrorist activities during the quota protests. The Acting Secretary General of Jamaat-e-Islami denounced these allegations, asserting that the ban was illegal and driven by the political vengeance of the government. He also accused the government of inciting the Chhatra League to attack the protesting students through provocative and aggressive statements.
According to the gazette notification from the Ministry of Home Affairs, there is no specific evidence of the involvement of Jamaat-e-Islami, Islami Chhatra Shibir, and its front organizations in terrorist activities, and the government believes that the organisations are not involved in terrorist activities.
Section 18 of the Anti-Terrorism Act of Bangladesh stipulates that the government, on reasonable grounds that an entity is involved in terrorist activities, may issue orders to prescribe the entity and include it in the schedule of the Act. Additionally, the government is authorized to issue orders to include or exclude any entity from the schedule or amend the schedule in any order manner.
