Bangladesh's Election Commission has suspended the registration of ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League, effectively barring the party from contesting the next national elections.

The move by the election commission comes after the country’s interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, banned all activities of the Awami League.

Bangladesh's interim government has used an anti-terror law to freeze all activities of the Awami League, the party of ousted leader Sheikh Hasina. Is there a way for the country's oldest party to remain in play?
