Bangladesh issues a gazette notification
Bangladesh on Monday issued a gazette notification, officially banning all activities of deposed premier Sheikh Hasina's Awami League party under an overnight revised anti-terrorism law.
'The Home Ministry today issued the gazette notification banning all activities of the Awami League, its all front, associate and brotherly organisations,' Home Adviser Lt Gen (retd.) Jahangir Alam told a media briefing here.
According to the notification, Awami League and its affiliated organisations were banned under the Anti-Terrorism Act 2025 until Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal (ICT-BD) completed the trial of its leaders and activists, said a Home Ministry official.
The official said Section 18 of the revised law empowered the government to declare any 'entity' or organisation alongside an individual if they were found involved in terrorism based on reasonable grounds. The original Anti-Terrorism Act of 2009 did not have the provision of banning the 'entity'.

After Fort Bragg, Trump lists military bases that will be renamed - Fort Robert E Lee to Fort Hood
Speaking to hundreds of soldiers in North Carolina on Tuesday, President Donald Trump listed military bases his administration will rename. The 78-year-old's visit to Fort Bragg, home to some 50,000 active-duty soldiers, came a day after he deployed about 700 Marines to aid 4,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles amid citywide anti-ICE protests. Trump warned against demonstrations against the 250th Army Day parade, telling reporters "they're going to be met with very big force." Earlier this year, the president restored the name Fort Bragg to the base, one of the largest in the world, despite a federal law that prohibits honoring generals who fought for the South during the Civil War. In 2023, the base had been renamed Fort Liberty, a change driven by racial justice protests. • Fort Hood • Fort Gordon • Fort Rucker • Fort Polk • Fort A.P. Hill • Fort Robert E. Lee

Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina's son visits India to meet her
New Delhi: Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina's US-based son, Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed, is in India to meet his mother, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Wazed, who has emerged as a key voice for the Awami League party, arrived in the country ahead of Eid-ul-Adha in order to celebrate the festival with his mother, currently living in self-exile in New Delhi, the people said on condition of anonymity. Hasina fled to India after the dramatic collapse of the Awami League government in the face of nationwide protests led by student groups last August. She is currently living in a safe house in the heart of the Indian capital. There was no word from Indian officials on the visit by Wazed, an American citizen who is also known by his nickname of Joy. 'Hasina's son is visiting India primarily to celebrate Eid with his mother. He is the first visitor she has received since she arrived in India in August last year,' a person close to the Awami League said. The people said there are currently no plans for Wazed to participate in any public events. Details of his itinerary too are not known, they said. The Indian side is yet to respond to a request from Bangladesh's interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus to extradite Hasina, who is facing charges in multiple criminal cases registered against her. Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal indicted Hasina earlier this month for ordering a police crackdown on protestors last year, and directed authorities to present her before the panel on June 16. Relations between the Indian government and Bangladesh's caretaker administration are currently at an all-time low and the two sides have clashed on Dhaka's handling of the repression on Bangladesh's religious minorities.
