This Bengali-language news article from the "July Archive" project memorializes Tahmid Bhuiyan Tamim, a 15-year-old ninth-grade student from Narsingdi, Bangladesh, who was killed on July 18, 2024, during the quota reform protest movement. The article recounts how Tahmid secretly left his home to join a protest march at the Jelkhana intersection, carrying a flag and chanting slogans, before being shot by police. It describes the particularly harrowing detail that police continued firing on his lifeless body during a procession, witnessed by his helpless father. The piece highlights Tahmid's personal life — his dreams of becoming a cricketer, his close bond with his family — and his prophetic words to his mother: "If I die, I will become a martyr (shaheed)," framing his death within the broader context of the July 2024 anti-government uprising in Bangladesh and calling for justice for his killing.

This is a Bengali-language news article from the "July Archive" documenting the story of Liza Akter, a 19-year-old martyr from the 2024 Bangladesh uprising. It was published on November 17, 2024. The article recounts how Liza, a poor girl from Bhola district, moved to Dhaka to work as a domestic worker in Shantinagar to escape poverty. On July 18, 2024, during protests following the death of first martyr Abu Sayed, she was struck by a bullet in her abdomen while standing on a 7th-floor balcony watching the unrest below — despite having no involvement in the demonstrations. After four days of fighting for her life in hospital, Liza died on July 22, 2024. The article bitterly notes that while the ruling autocratic government mourned damage to infrastructure (such as the metro rail) that day, they made no mention of victims like Liza — a young woman who had come to Dhaka solely to feed herself and her family, only to be killed by a stray bullet.

This is a memorial article from the "July Archive" (জুলাই আর্কাইভ) about Tuhin Ahmed, a 28-year-old bricklayer (রাজমিস্ত্রী) who was killed on July 20, 2024, during Bangladesh's student-led quota reform movement. He was shot in the abdomen by a stray bullet while returning home from work on Chittagong Road in Narayanganj, and died despite being rushed between multiple hospitals. The article focuses on the devastating impact of his death on his family — particularly his wife Riya Sheikh, who was stranded at her parents' home due to curfew and could not reach him in time, and their 3-year-old son Ayat, who still visits his father's grave waiting for him to return. The central emotional theme is captured in Ayat's repeated question: "Baba, why don't you come back?" The piece, written by a student at Chittagong University, emphasizes that Tuhin was an ordinary, apolitical working man whose death highlights the human cost of state violence during the 2024 uprising, leaving behind a grieving family with debt, no income, and unanswered questions about accountability.

This Bengali-language news article from the "July Archive" documents the death of Khubayb bin A. Rahman, a young Islamic scholar (alim) who was killed by police on August 5 during the 2024 mass uprising in Bangladesh.

The article covers the circumstances of his death, including a police mass shooting where 30-40 people sheltering behind pillars were fired upon indiscriminately, along with an eyewitness account describing the brutality. It also details his personal background — a graduate of an Islamic seminary, active in the anti-discrimination movement from its start, and scheduled to be married the following Friday. Notably, the night before his death, he told his mother he believed he would be martyred and asked her to shave his head. The article notes that 77 madrassa students and Islamic scholars were killed in total during the 2024 uprising.

The article describes his participation in student protests against discriminatory government policies, during which security forces responded with tear gas, baton charges, and live gunfire. Saleh claims he was hit by over 200 rubber/shotgun pellets, left bleeding on the ground overnight without access to medical care, as hospitals and roads were reportedly under police control. The account is part of a broader archive documenting the 2024 Bangladesh student uprising, which includes sections on martyrs' stories, testimonies from the injured, and video memoirs — serving as a historical record of the movement and its human cost.

This document is a news archive from July 19–22, 2024, compiled by "July Archive" (জুলাই আর্কাইভ), covering the massive student-led quota reform protests in Bangladesh that rapidly escalated into a nationwide crisis. The archive documents how protests against Bangladesh's government job quota system — particularly reservations for descendants of 1971 Liberation War veterans — turned violently deadly, with at least 56–100+ people killed, a nationwide internet blackout imposed, and the government declaring a curfew with shoot-on-sight orders and deploying the army. Key events covered include attacks on the state broadcaster BTV, a prison break in Narsingdi where 826 inmates escaped, Metro Rail stations being vandalized, and widespread clashes between protesters, police, and ruling party student wing Chhatra League. By July 21–22, Bangladesh's Supreme Court scrapped most of the contested quotas (reducing reserved quotas to approximately 7%), the government promised compensation to affected families, and protesters temporarily suspended their movement for 48 hours — though demonstrations continued as student leaders demanded further accountability for the violence committed against them.

This document is a timeline archive of the July 2024 anti-discrimination student uprising (জুলাই অভ্যুত্থান) in Bangladesh, compiled by the "July Archive" project under Chief Co-ordinator Dewan Tahmid. It chronicles a student-led protest movement that began in response to a court ruling that reinstated the freedom fighter (muktijoddha) quota system in government jobs (grades 9–13), which had been abolished in 2018. The timeline covers key events from June 5 to July 1, 2024, including the High Court verdict reinstating the quota, subsequent protests at Dhaka University and other institutions, and the formation of the "Boishamya-birodhi Chhatra Andolan" (Anti-Discrimination Student Movement). Students issued a 4-point demand, including restoring the 2018 merit-based recruitment circular, reforming the quota system through a commission, and ensuring a corruption-free civil service. The document notes that the martyrs' death tolls cited reflect only newspaper-reported figures and that the actual numbers were likely much higher, with a more comprehensive daily account to be published separately.

This Bengali news article, published on November 7, 2024 by July Archive, tells the story of Sumaiya Akter, a 20-year-old woman who was killed by a bullet on July 20, 2024, during Bangladesh's anti-government protests. Originally from Mehendiganj, Barisal, Sumaiya had moved to Narayanganj with her family due to poverty, worked in a garment factory, married a coworker named Jahid Hossain, and had recently given birth to a daughter named Suaiba just two and a half months prior to her death. Sumaiya was shot in the head while standing on her mother's sixth-floor balcony in Siddhirganj, Narayanganj, watching a helicopter flying low overhead during clashes between security forces and student protesters on the Dhaka-Chittagong highway below. According to eyewitnesses, including her mother, the bullet — fired from or near the helicopter — pierced the balcony's steel railing before striking the left side of Sumaiya's head, killing her instantly. The article frames her death within the broader context of the 2024 Bangladeshi student uprising against what it describes as an authoritarian government, portraying Sumaiya as a martyr ("shahid") who was an innocent bystander, leaving behind her infant daughter and grieving family.

This is a first-person memoir published on the July Archive (জুলাই আর্কাইভ) website, written by Sabbir Ahmed, a student of Islamic History and Culture at Dhaka University from Sherpur, Bogura. The article, published November 1, 2024, recounts his personal experience of participating in and being injured during the July 2024 student uprising in Bangladesh. The account details his participation in protests from July 2–17, 2024, including the pivotal events of July 15–17 when Chhatra League (the ruling party's student wing) violently attacked protesters at Dhaka University, injuring hundreds of students. He describes being ambushed and beaten with sticks on the street near Kataban by Chhatra League members while attempting to leave campus — an attack he later identified as being led by Abu Yunus, the Chhatra League General Secretary of Bijoy Ekattor Hall. After the attack, he sought medical treatment at a hospital in Kalyanpur, spent over a week recovering at his aunt's home during a government-imposed curfew, and ultimately returned to Bogura to recuperate — before rejoining protests there, which eventually led to the fall of the government.

Summary of 2024 Bangladesh Internet Blackouts This Wikipedia article covers the government-ordered internet shutdowns that occurred in Bangladesh between July 18 and August 5, 2024, during the July Uprising, a protest movement against government job quota policies. The main topics covered include two distinct blackout phases: the first lasting 10 days (July 18–28), during which broadband and mobile internet were progressively restored but social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram remained blocked; and a second shorter shutdown on August 4–5, which ended only after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned. The article also details the political background, specifically the quota reform protests that triggered the shutdowns, along with the significant economic impact on banking and communications. Additionally, the article covers the post-government investigation, which found that ICT Minister Zunaid Ahmed Palak verbally ordered the internet shutdown without proper administrative approval, and that official claims blaming a data center fire were false. In December 2025, the International Crimes Tribunal issued an arrest warrant against Sajeeb Wazed Joy in connection with the shutdowns.

সারসংক্ষেপ এই নথিটি বাংলাদেশের "জুলাই আর্কাইভ" প্রকল্পের একটি সংবাদ সংকলন, যেখানে ২০২৪ সালের ১১ থেকে ১৫ জুলাই তারিখের কোটা সংস্কার আন্দোলন সংক্রান্ত সংবাদ শিরোনামগুলো নথিভুক্ত করা হয়েছে। মূল বিষয়গুলোর মধ্যে রয়েছে: সরকারি চাকরিতে কোটা পদ্ধতির বিরুদ্ধে শিক্ষার্থীদের "বাংলা ব্লকেড" ও গণপদযাত্রা কর্মসূচি, পুলিশ ও ছাত্রলীগের হামলা, এবং সরকারের পক্ষ থেকে আন্দোলনকে বিএনপি-জামায়াত ও স্বাধীনতাবিরোধীদের ষড়যন্ত্র হিসেবে চিত্রিত করার প্রচেষ্টা। ১৫ জুলাইয়ের দিকে পরিস্থিতি আরও উত্তপ্ত হয়, যেখানে প্রধানমন্ত্রীর বক্তব্যের প্রতিক্রিয়ায় "রাজাকার" স্লোগান এবং ছাত্রলীগের হামলায় শতাধিক আহত হওয়ার ঘটনা উল্লেখযোগ্য।

This op-ed by Nawrin Sultana, published in the Dhaka Tribune on August 24, 2024, analyzes the rapid collapse of Bangladesh's Awami League government under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after 15 years in power. The author argues that the downfall was primarily caused by a catastrophic failure in political communication rather than organized opposition or a military coup. The piece traces the crisis from its origins in student protests over a discriminatory civil service quota system, through Hasina's inflammatory labeling of protesters as "traitors," to the government's subsequent escalating responses including internet shutdowns, violent crackdowns on students, and a refusal to acknowledge legitimate grievances or apologize. The author contends that these actions severed trust between the government and its citizens, ultimately costing the regime its legitimacy within just 15 days. The article concludes with a broader lesson for democratic governments worldwide: that effective, honest communication with citizens is essential to maintaining power, and that suppressing dissent through force and rhetoric inevitably accelerates a government's downfall.

This news article covers a press conference held on August 20, 2024, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where Islami Andolan Bangladesh (IAB) party official Mufti Syed Muhammad Fayzul Karim announced a seven-point demand for rebuilding Bangladesh following what he called the "era of autocracy." The demands include establishing an independent tribunal for the "July massacre," banning convicted parties from politics, seizing corrupt officials' assets, reforming the election commission, creating a national education commission, and nationalizing village police. The article also addresses attacks on religious minorities, with Fayzul Karim condemning the attackers as "opportunity seekers" rather than protesters and calling on the interim government to take strict protective measures. Additionally, IAB announced plans to hold district-level conferences from August 21–31 and mass rallies at every Thana from September 1–10 to push their agenda forward.

This is an editorial from the Dhaka Tribune (published August 17, 2024) criticizing student activists in Bangladesh for engaging in the same authoritarian behaviors they had previously protested against under Sheikh Hasina's government. Specifically, the editorial condemns students for stopping civilians on Dhaka streets, searching their phones and belongings without legal authority, and acting violently toward journalists on August 15, 2024 (the death anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman) near Dhanmondi 32. The editorial's core argument is that with an interim government now in place — one that already includes two student movement representatives in advisory roles — there is no justification for student activists to continue operating in the streets and resorting to the same undemocratic tactics used by groups like Chhatro League and Chhatro Dal, which they had originally opposed.

The article highlights the direct conflict between the student movement (which had ties to Bangladesh's interim government) and the Supreme Court, framing it as part of a broader political power struggle following a period of civil unrest in Bangladesh.

This Al Jazeera article chronicles the student-led protests in Bangladesh that ultimately toppled Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's 15-year government in August 2024. The unrest began in June 2024 when the High Court reinstated a quota system reserving one-third of government jobs for descendants of 1971 Liberation War veterans, sparking demonstrations led by university students demanding a merit-based hiring system. The protests escalated dramatically after the government responded with violent crackdowns, internet shutdowns, and a nationwide curfew, resulting in at least 300 deaths and thousands of arrests over several weeks. Despite the Supreme Court scaling back the quota to just 5% on July 21, protesters shifted their demands to call for Hasina's resignation due to the brutal suppression of demonstrations. On August 5, 2024, following a particularly deadly crackdown on August 4th that killed nearly 100 people, Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled Bangladesh by military helicopter, reportedly to India, marking the end of her government amid widespread public outrage.
