flag Islamist groups gained power in Bangladesh after 2024 uprising, raising rights and governance concerns.

flag A new report from the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development warns that Bangladesh has seen a surge in Islamist politics following the July 2024 uprising that ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government. flag The report finds the uprising failed to deliver promised structural reforms, resulting in chaotic governance and a weak interim administration. flag With the political vacuum, previously suppressed Islamist groups, including Jamaat-e-Islami, have gained influence, shifting the country’s political landscape to the right. flag The report raises concerns that this shift could lead to the expansion of formal and informal Islamic governance, potentially undermining women’s rights and freedoms, and increasing social control, despite tolerance for minorities.
