Bangladesh Parliament Dissolved Amid Student-Led Protests; Former Prime Minister Ordered Released

Dhaka, Bangladesh – In a significant political upheaval, Bangladesh Parliament Dissolved due to following intense pressure from student leaders and civil society members. The decision was confirmed just minutes ago, marking a crucial turning point in the nation’s political landscape.

The announcement came after a high-stakes meeting involving President Abdul Hamid, Army Chief General Aziz Ahmed, and key political figures. The decision to dissolve Parliament came in response to an ultimatum from student leaders, who had demanded the dissolution by 9 GMT, threatening to initiate widespread protests if their demands were not met.

In addition to dissolving Parliament, authorities have ordered the release of former Prime Minister and main opposition leader Khaleda Zia. Zia, who has been under house arrest since her 2018 conviction on corruption charges, was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Her release marks another significant development in the unfolding political drama.

“This is a major victory for the students and the civil society who have been tirelessly advocating for political change,” said a student leader. “We hope this marks the beginning of a new era of transparency and accountability in our government.”

The dissolution of Parliament and Zia’s release are expected to have profound implications for the political stability of Bangladesh. The move is seen as a response to growing discontent and demands for reform among the youth and civil society groups.

As the nation awaits further developments, the international community watches closely to see how these changes will impact Bangladesh’s future.
