The ban, enacted under the Anti-Terrorism Act, will persist until the party's trial over hundreds of protester deaths concludes. The decision follows a significant uprising that ousted Hasina and involved violent protests resulting in numerous fatalities. The government's expansion of legal actions against political parties accused of murder during the protests underscores the ongoing political turmoil in Bangladesh.
