The opposition Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami party opened its party office in Dhaka on Tuesday after over a decade, as former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country.

The religious-political party is said to have been part of the student protest movement that led to the downfall of Hasina, the daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rehman, the founding leader of Bangladesh.

Jamaat spokesperson Ataur Rahman Sarkar stated that the party’s head office in the Mogbazar neighbourhood was forcibly closed in 2011 and could not reopen despite a court order.

Shafiqur Rahman, the head of Jamaat-e-Islami, entered the party’s head office late Monday.

Hundreds of opposition leaders and activists are being freed as Sheikh Hasina flees the country after 15 years in power.
