Anti-discrimination student movement convener Hasnat Abdullah and central coordinator Sarjis Alam have filed a petition in the High Court seeking a ban on Awami League.
They filed this writ on Monday (October 28) morning, confirmed by Senior Lawyer Advocate Ahsanul Karim.
He said, "The petition was filed to ensure that the party cannot conduct political activities due to their involvement in genocide."
A hearing on the petition will be held in a High Court division bench later this week.
It is known that the hearing will be held in a dual bench in the High Court. In the writ, the Awami League has been asked to direct that it cannot carry out any political activities.
