Bangladesh's high court has declared the country's largest Islamist party, the Jamaat-e-Islami, illegal.
Jamaat is one of two main opposition parties and a constant thorn in the side of the ruling Awami League.
With the declaration, Jamaat will not be able to take part in the country's upcoming general election - certainly welcome news to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
But such a ruling can also reignite a fresh round of political unrest in the South Asian nation.

Yay ! Another story ! Does this mean there will be people unable to participate in a democratic election process?
Good afternoon @Scottish Mama.
One of two main opposition parties declared illegal, great way to go democracy. Perhaps we could learn a thing or two from Shaikh Hasina.
"Egyptian military Junta vows to crush pro Morsi protests" and "The House refuses to stop aid to Egyptian ruling Junta".
"NSA records everything a user does on the internet"
Then they know of our abhor for their politics.
Thus it is written and thus it behoove JESUS CHRIST to suffer and rise from the dead the third day and that repentance and remission of sins be preach in his name among all nations beginning at JERUSALEM.
JESUS CHRIST alone saves
O.K @Andre Himes. Thanks
Unfortunately all up there at Security Council would veto the proposition.
Ok so why cant Democrats call Republicans illegal? Lol would solve lots of problems here lmao!
Instead of making one party illegal lets make both illegal! They have proven themselves to be a "band of misfits" Wonder if we could even put them out of office if we voted for it?
@ronvan- there is always something evil waiting to take their place. Most people like myself don't have the stomach for it.
When I was in grade 9 I wrote a report about Bangladesh. We were supposed to each pick a third world nation and come up with a plan to fix it.
Trust me. It's hopeless.
Hello Bombo, yeah it is all going to hell in a handbag.
