Awami League supporters stare at an uncertain future under the interim government
On the scorching afternoon of April 29, Bangladeshi actor Siddiqur Rahman Siddique stood at a fuel station in Dhaka's Bijoy Shoroni area, refuelling his car. Suddenly, a group of youths — members of the Jatiotabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), the student wing of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) — began chasing him. Siddique fled in his car for nearly five km through the city before being caught at the Baily Road area in the capital. The group beat him mercilessly, and in a viral video of the assault, Siddique can be seen pleading and crying out in pain and fear – his clothes torn, face bruised, and dignity shattered. 'Fascist supporter,' they screamed as they kicked and punched him. And yet, the police stood by watching – silent and indifferent. The group then handed Siddique over to the police. The television actor was later placed on a seven-day remand by a Dhaka court for attempting to kill a rickshaw-van driver during the student-led mass uprisings of last year, which ultimately led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government after sixteen years in power. Though Siddique was not an office-bearer of the Awami League, he had collected a nomination from the party to contest the Dhaka-17 by-election in 2023. Shortly after the Siddique episode came the arrest of popular Bangladeshi actor Nusrat Faria at the Dhaka Airport on Sunday. She was later sent to jail by a Dhaka court in connection with an alleged attempted murder case. Faria, who portrayed former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in a biopic, had been abroad during the mass uprising. Her arrest sparked widespread criticism across the country. Amid controversies, the actor was granted bail. 'Ally of fascism' Meanwhile, individuals previously aligned with the Awami League — both official party men and mere sympathisers from different vocations — are increasingly being subjected to such treatment. Incidents such as these are becoming more common. In many cases, perpetrators resort to terms such as 'fascist collaborator', 'ally of fascism', or 'Awami League enabler' to justify their attacks and extort money. Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, organising secretary of the Bangladesh Awami League, told The Hindu, 'Under the patronage of the Yunus government, mass terror is being unleashed against leaders and workers at various levels of the Awami League. Besides, the BNP and the Jamaat are also involved in various places.' 'Since the rule of law is completely absent in Bangladesh at present, there is no opportunity to confront all these illegal activities of the Yunus government. Our leaders and activists who are being arrested are not even given the due process of law in the courts', he added. With mob attacks on the rise, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) made a statement on Tuesday urging concerned parties to refrain from taking the law into their own hands. The DMP also warned that any future attempt to create chaos by taking the law into one's own hands will not be tolerated. 'If any individual deliberately harasses someone without reason or attempts to serve personal interests by violating the law, the matter should be immediately reported to the national emergency service at 999 or the nearest police station', the statement read. However, political analysts believe that such mob attacks would only increase in the coming days, given the Mohammad Yunus-led interim government's official ban on the Awami League and affiliated organisations under the Anti-Terrorism Act on May 12. This was followed by the suspension of party registration by the Election Commission of Bangladesh. The ban encompasses all forms of activities, including any kind of publication, campaign in media, procession, meeting, gathering, conference, etc., potentially giving attackers a perceived justification for future assaults. Mubashar Hasan, political analyst and post-doctoral fellow at the University of Oslo, told The Hindu that mob attacks happen when a government lacks legitimacy. 'People believe whatever they demand will be met, and the government must take responsibility for that,' he said. 'I believe this ban might allow such attacks to feel further justified in their actions in the days to come. That said, the phenomenon is not solely tied to the ban — it's part of a broader Bangladeshi political culture: when a party loses power, its leaders and activists often become targets of violence,' he added. Nazmul Islam, a political analyst and Head of Türkiye, Asia, and Indo-Pacific Studies at Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University, told The Hindu that 'any acts of violence may emerge because of the slow pace of Bangladesh's judicial process. It is also obvious that individuals from various political factions are attempting to exploit the current situation for their benefit.' 'Mob attacks risk harming the judicial rights of not only members or affiliates of the Awami League but also ordinary citizens with no political or criminal affiliations. Robust commitment to law and justice is essential to ensuring a stable and inclusive political future,' he added. Not only Awami League activists and sympathisers, but people from law enforcement too are targeted. According to data from the police headquarters, among the 225 attacks on police personnel over eight months from August 2024 to February 2025, 70 were major assaults. Human Rights Support Society (HRSS) also said that at least 119 people were killed and 74 injured in mob attacks since the interim government assumed office on August 8. Current state of Awami League After Sheikh Hasina was deposed, most of the Awami League's top leadership fled the country, with many taking shelter in neighbouring India. Those who could not leave are either in jail or hiding. Sources said that since the fall of the government, at least 27 ministers, five former state ministers, three deputy ministers, and three advisors have been arrested. In addition, 43 former MPs from the Hasina administration are currently behind bars. More than 300 cases have been registered against Sheikh Hasina alone. The Hindu spoke with several senior Awami League leaders who confirmed that, despite being abroad, they remain in constant communication with party leaders and activists in Bangladesh. They continue to guide grassroots members and see them as a source of hope for staging a political comeback. Although the government has banned all activities of the Awami League, party leaders still occasionally stage flash processions. Defying the ban, Awami League leaders organised processions in multiple areas of the capital this week. On Sunday afternoon, at least 11 leaders and activists were arrested as they attempted to enter the party's headquarters on Bangabandhu Avenue in Dhaka. 'We are keeping in touch with leaders and activists across the country. Political programmes are being held on a small scale. We hope that in the future we can organise a large-scale protest rally against the interim government. Since August 5, there has been widespread public discontent against this government due to the economic crisis and insecurity of the people across the country,' said Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, the organising secretary of the Bangladesh Awami League. Reactions after the ban AFM Bahauddin Nasim, Joint Secretary of the party, called the ban on Awami League's activities a government-staged drama. He said, 'How can a party with just a handful of supporters even think of banning the Awami League, the party that led the war of independence? Awami League is the party of millions — it cannot be banned. The people of Bangladesh rejected the ban on Awami League.' Mr. Nadel said that, 'The Yunus-led government has banned the Awami League to prolong his rule. Banning the Awami League is against the constitution and law of Bangladesh. The Yunus government has done this dishonest act to advance the undemocratic process.' Mr. Hasan told The Hindu that the way the interim government banned the Awami League was wrong. A group of people gathered in front of Jamuna, the residence of the Chief Adviser, as part of a state-sponsored drama, and the government banned the Awami League without even consulting other stakeholders.

I got an £872 energy bill refund – it was so easy and only took five minutes to claim
Little-known rule that reveals whether YOU should claim an energy refund too BILL BOOST I got an £872 energy bill refund – it was so easy and only took five minutes to claim Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FATHER-OF-THREE has revealed how he clawed back £872 in overpaid energy bills in just a matter of minutes. Chris Matthewman, from Basildon, Essex, bagged the "immensely helpful" credit after diving into his finances. 1 Chris Matthewman got an £872 energy refund after finding out he was overpaying It comes as household finance experts reveal bill payers are sitting on hundreds of pounds' worth of credit and call on them reclaim it before the end of the month. Chris, 39, and his partner Tracey were deep in debt two years ago and desperately looking for ways to save money. He decided to first take a look at his energy bills, and logged onto his online account with to see he was in credit by £1,100 on his dual-fuel tariff that he paid for by direct debit. He phoned the firm's customer service team who told him to take a meter reading. Once submitted, it told him he could get an £872 refund. He said: "I phoned and asked if I could take the credit, saying it was my money at the end of the day. "They were quite respectful when I found out I was in credit and could issue the money. "They said I should have a pot (of extra money) for winter but I decided to take the refund." The updated meter reading also led to adjusting Chris and Tracey's monthly direct debit from around £200 to £130 - a £70 difference. Chris first contacted about the refund in January and the money was in his bank account three weeks later. But while the adjusted monthly direct debit was useful, Chris said it was the £872 lump sum that was the biggest help to the Essex family as it helped them write off their debt earlier than planned. I chase refunds for a living - how to get your money back They were in a Debt Management Plan (DMP) - when you pay off your debts to creditors, usually through a monthly payment to a debt management company - and the energy credit helped them close it early. "It was immensely helpful," Chris said when asked how useful the refund was. "At the time we were in a Debt Management Plan and it was meant to end in September 2024. "But with the £872 plus with cutting costs in other areas, we finished it in April 2024. "So we saved five months of payments which in turn was about £5,000 of payments. "Having the little impact (of the refund) saved us more in the long run." He added: "I do a meter reading every couple of months now just to see if we are paying too much or if we're not paying too much. "I would always recommend to do it just so you can have a bit of breathing space." Households sitting on £100s in energy credit It comes as warns households they could be owed hundreds of pounds in energy credit - and should check their bank balances before the end of May. Research by the money-saving tool found almost half of households with traditional energy meters it recently surveyed aren't submitting regular readings. Fail to submit regular meter readings and your energy company charges you an estimated bill based on what you paid the previous year - which can see you forking out more than you should be. Nous says after a milder winter than expected, households will likely have built up much more credit than they need this spring - and should look at requesting a refund. Nous experts suggest if your total credit balance this May is more than two thirds of what you usually pay each month, you are likely paying more than you need to and should ask for a refund and for your direct debit to be reduced. As an example, if you have £400 credit in your account and you usually pay £100 a month, you should be fine to request one. Meanwhile, consumer website says as long as you have over one months' worth of direct debit credit in May, you're safe to request a refund. Greg Marsh, household finance expert and chief executive officer of said: 'No one should have a big credit balance built up in their energy account right now. 'Most suppliers won't automatically refund you if you've paid too much, and could be unfairly holding on to money that you're owed. 'If you've got a traditional meter and haven't submitted a reading in a while, you'll be paying bills based on estimates that could be significantly out after an unusually mild winter. 'Energy companies know how hard it is to stay on top of this stuff, and hope that we just put up with paying more than we need to." How to request an energy refund If you're in enough credit, requesting a refund is as simple as getting in touch with your supplier and asking for one. You'll also find contact details for your supplier on a recent energy bill or can log into your online account if you don't get paper bills. If you haven't submitted a recent meter reading, your supplier may ask you for one so it knows if what it is charging you is accurate. If you aren't happy with its response, you can make a complaint via a dedicated page on its website. If you want to write to them or send them an email, you can use the Citizens Advice complaints letter template. How to submit a meter reading Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to submit an energy meter reading. If you do have to submit a meter reading, which you don't have to do if you have a smart or prepayment meter, the easiest way is to take a photo of your gas and electricity meters. Most suppliers will let you send in your meter reading online via your energy account. Some providers will also let you send in the numbers by text or through their app. Electricity meters If you have a digital electricity meter then you will see a row of six numbers. Five of them will be in black and one will be in red. Write down the five numbers in black, which are shown from left to right. If you are on an Economy 7 or 10 tariff, which gives you cheaper electricity at night, then you will have two rows of numbers. You need both to take a reading. If you have a traditional dial meter then you need to read the first five dials from left to right. Ignore any red dials. If the pointer is between two numbers then write down the lowest figure. If it is between nine and zero then write down the number nine. Gas meters If you have a digital metric gas meter showing five numbers followed by a decimal point then you need to write down the first five numbers. If you have a digital imperial meter then you will see two red numbers and four black numbers. Write down the four black numbers only. If you have a digital gas meter, follow the same steps as the digital electricity meter. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

Bullish Domino's Pizza Enterprises Insiders Loaded Up On AU$9.59m Of Stock
Over the last year, a good number of insiders have significantly increased their holdings in Domino's Pizza Enterprises Limited (ASX:DMP). This is encouraging because it indicates that insiders are more optimistic about the company's prospects. Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares. Our free stock report includes 4 warning signs investors should be aware of before investing in Domino's Pizza Enterprises. Read for free now. In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Non-Executive Chairman Jack Cowin bought AU$9.5m worth of shares at a price of AU$31.67 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of AU$25.20. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid AU$9.6m for 302.60k shares. On the other hand they divested 25.00k shares, for AU$752k. In the last twelve months there was more buying than selling by Domino's Pizza Enterprises insiders.
