How should the interim government behave towards the Awami League, written by Hasnat.
Hasnat Abdullah, one of the coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement, has commented that if the August 5 uprising had not been successful in overthrowing the dictatorship, the Awami League would not have hesitated to commit genocide against the students and the public of this country. He said, ‘Our behavior towards the Awami League will be exactly the same as the Awami League’s behavior towards us would have been if August 5 had not happened.’
He wrote these words in a post on his verified Facebook page on Wednesday to the interim government, demanding the trial of leaders and activists in the Awami League.
In the post, Hasnat Abdullah wrote, ‘Civility has finally become our fate. In the same situation in Syria after the revolution, 35 officials of the Assad government were executed in just three days, even though five months have passed since the July uprising was successful, not a single leader and activist close to fascist Hasina and a supporter of fascism has been tried. The present government’s voluntary delay in carrying out the trial of the leaders and activists of the fascist Awami League due to such kindness is tantamount to an insult to the July Uprising.’
The convener of the anti-discrimination student movement further wrote, ‘However, if the August 5th Uprising had not been successful, the fascist Hasina and the Awami League would have embarked on a massacre of revolutionaries. They would not have hesitated to commit indiscriminate disappearances, murders and other genocides. The noose would have fallen on the necks of hundreds of people who participated in the uprising, countless anti-fascist people would have died in the crossfire, and thousands of students and the public would have been left in the darkness of the mirror. The shadow of mourning of innocent people would have descended across the country.’
He further wrote, ‘That is precisely why our current behavior towards the Awami League should be exactly the same as the behavior the Awami League would have shown us if the August 5th Uprising had not been successful. The current interim government should ban the Awami League as a party that established genocide and fascism, and quickly implement the trial of all its leaders and activists, and bring the soft enablers of the Awami League’s fascism, which prevails at all levels of the country, starting from the administration, under the law. Otherwise, the sacrifice of all our martyrs in this July mass uprising and the shedding of the blood of thousands of injured comrades will be in vain.’
Calling on the interim government, Hasnat Abdullah further wrote, ‘There is no mercy for the Awami League. Therefore, make the trial of the party’s leaders and activists visible and effective very quickly. I repeat: Our behavior towards the Awami League will be exactly the same as the Awami League’s behavior towards us would have been if it had not been for August 5.’
