Event Summary

The Bangladesh — Supreme Court of Bangladesh restored the registration of Pakistan — Jamaat-e-Islami, the largest Islamist party, allowing it to participate in elections after more than a decade. This decision followed the overturning of a 2014 conviction against a key party leader, A. T. M. Azharul Islam, who had been sentenced to death for war crimes during Bangladesh's 1971 war of independence from Pakistan. The restoration comes after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who had banned Pakistan — Jamaat-e-Islami, was ousted in August. Concurrently, Bangladesh's interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, banned the Bangladesh — Awami League, Sheikh Hasina's party, pending a trial related to its crackdown on mass protests. Sheikh Hasina herself is now facing trial for crimes against humanity.
