Police in Mongla, Bagerhat district, Bangladesh, arrested four members of the Chhatra League, a student organization, for celebrating the anniversary of the ruling Awami League despite a ban on their activities. The arrests occurred Tuesday night in the Burirdanga area. Authorities confiscated two banners, party flags, and a birthday cake intended for the anniversary celebration. The four individuals were presented before the Bagerhat court on Wednesday. The Chhatra League’s activities are currently prohibited, making the public celebration a violation of the ban. This incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding political gatherings and restrictions on student activism in the region.
