TIB Report: 100 Days of Unprecedented Misrule Under the Yunus Government

The first 100 days of Dr. Muhammad Yunus-led interim government in Bangladesh have passed, marked by overall weak governance and widespread disorder, according to a report by Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB). The governance issues have significantly impacted former ruling Awami League activists and members of the Hindu community, with reports of unprecedented repression and human rights violations. The middle-class and marginalized communities have been particularly affected by the government’s failure to control markets and law enforcement.

The TIB report, presented on November 18 under the title “100 Days of the New Bangladesh”, highlights major challenges in governance, transparency issues, and controversial decisions taken by the government. Dr. Iftekharuzzaman, TIB’s Executive Director, Professor Sumaiya Khair, and Director Md. Badiuzzaman shared insights from the findings.

Key Findings:

Institutional Dysfunction and Governance Issues

Reform Failures: Efforts to restructure institutions such as the Election Commission, Anti-Corruption Commission, Human Rights Commission, and Information Commission have been marred by mismanagement and opacity.

Lack of Coordination: Ad hoc decision-making and leadership misalignment have led to delays in administrative appointments and policy implementation. Frequent reversals of decisions have created operational uncertainties.

Press Freedom Under Attack

The government has faced criticism for targeting media outlets and filing lawsuits against journalists. Threats, attacks, and withdrawal of media accreditations have jeopardized press freedom and freedom of speech.

Political Polarization and Administrative Bias

Extensive political favoritism has paralyzed public administration, delaying ministerial appointments and stalling key development projects.

Over 80 individuals, including ministers, journalists, and members of parliament, have been arrested. Meanwhile, over 1,695 cases were filed against opposition activists, leading to the detention of over 3,195 individuals, including 74 senior Awami League leaders.

Law and Order Deterioration

Law enforcement negligence has resulted in increased violence, including mob lynchings and political unrest. Communal violence has surged, with attacks on religious minorities and indigenous communities.

Reports indicate over 600 fatalities and more than 10,000 injuries across the country following government crackdowns.

Worker Unrest and Industrial Disruptions

Protests over unpaid wages and other demands in the garment and pharmaceutical industries have escalated. A fire and attack at Gazi Tyre Factory left 175 individuals dead or missing.

Communal violence has led to over 2,010 reported incidents between August 5 and 20, with nine fatalities.

Judicial and Cultural Suppression

Allegations of politically motivated judicial appointments and interference in judicial independence have surfaced. Legal actions against the previous government and political opponents have raised questions about impartiality.

Cultural activities have been restricted, with attacks on 22 cultural institutions and bans on theatrical performances and fairs in various regions.

Implications and Concerns

The TIB report suggests that the Yunus government’s first 100 days have been defined by political tension, administrative instability, and erosion of trust in democratic institutions. While some progress has been noted, governance transparency, protection of basic rights, and judicial independence remain significant challenges.

The report concludes that immediate action is needed to restore public confidence and ensure stability in governance, law enforcement, and institutional reforms.
