Bangladesh Awami League Jail Death
Dhaka/New Delhi, February 2, 2026 (SBKI News) – Bangladesh’s interim government under Muhammad Yunus faces mounting accusations of political repression as a 70-year-old Awami League leader died in Chittagong jail from untreated cancer, while a 45-year-old student wing activist was found brutally murdered in Narsingdi. The Awami League alleges targeted killings by Jamaat-e-Islami cadres, coinciding with reports of 17 Hindus killed and temples attacked in two months. Hindu Americans staged protests across 20+ U.S. cities demanding international intervention.
Chittagong Jail Death Sparks Outrage
Abdur Rahman Miah (70), senior Awami League leader, died January 31 in Chittagong Central Jail after months without medical care despite advanced lung cancer and multiple ailments. Arrested November 17, 2025, under interim government crackdowns, family claims bail pleas ignored: “Government deliberately denied treatment—murder by neglect.” Autopsy demanded; Awami League calls emergency meeting.
Miah faced sedition charges post-Sheikh Hasina ouster (Aug 2024). Party alleges systematic targeting of 10,000+ jailed leaders.
Narsingdi Student Leader Murdered
