This is an opinion piece published in The Daily Star (Bangladesh) on August 5, 2026, written by Dr. Samina Luthfa, a sociology professor at Dhaka University. The article reflects on the second anniversary of the July-August 2024 uprising that overthrew Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, arguing that while the movement successfully removed an autocratic regime, it failed to achieve the deeper structural and institutional changes that protesters had demanded. The author's central argument focuses on the proposed "July Charter," warning that if this foundational document excludes minorities, women, Indigenous Peoples, non-Bangalee communities, and non-Muslims, it will represent a betrayal of the uprising's core ideals of equal dignity and non-discrimination. She also insists that Bangladesh's Liberation War history of 1971 must not be undermined or falsely equated with other historical events.

This news article from Bangladesh's Dhaka Tribune (published January 31, 2026) reports that the government removed 12 individuals from the official "July Fighters Gazette," a registry recognizing participants in the anti-discrimination student movement (July Uprising). The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs cancelled their recognition under the Martyrs' Families and July Fighters Welfare and Rehabilitation Ordinance, 2025, citing false information used to gain inclusion on the list. The 12 individuals, all from the 'G' category of July fighters, came from Dinajpur district (5 people) and Chandpur district (7 people). This action follows a larger cancellation in October 2025, when 128 July fighters were similarly removed for fraudulent listings or duplicate entries.

This August 5, 2026 article from The Daily Star (Bangladesh) reports that the Investigation Agency of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has submitted a probe report identifying deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as the "mastermind and superior commander" behind crimes against humanity committed during the July uprising, with former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former IGP Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun named as co-accused. The report brings five charges against Hasina, including incitement (after she publicly called student protesters "children of Razakars") and directly ordering state forces to use deadly weapons, helicopters, drones, and armored vehicles against protesters — supported by recorded phone conversations. According to the report, more than 1,500 people were killed and over 25,000 wounded, with additional allegations including systematic violence against women and children, burning of bodies, and blocking medical treatment for injured protesters. ICT Chief Prosecutor Tajul Islam stated that formal charges could be filed within two to three weeks, pending review of evidence, and noted the crimes are classified as crimes against humanity rather than genocide. Hasina is currently in India following the fall of her government, and this case is one of at least three she faces before the ICT.

This news article from the Dhaka Tribune (published June 12, 2025) reports on an ongoing crisis at the National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital in Agargaon, Bangladesh, where regular outpatient services have been suspended for over two weeks, with only emergency services operational. The crisis was triggered on May 25, 2025, when four injured protesters from the July 2024 uprising allegedly consumed poison during a meeting to protest what they described as negligent treatment. Tensions escalated on May 28 when protesters demanded medical treatment abroad, leading to a physical clash between hospital staff and protesters that resulted in a complete nine-day shutdown. The hospital's daily patient footfall dropped from its normal 3,000–4,000 people to virtually none. A government-appointed expert committee examined the patients and concluded that treatment had been satisfactory, recommending discharge or referral rather than overseas treatment, though 24 of 54 patients refused examination. Hospital authorities expected full operations to resume on June 14, while protest representatives warned of a renewed movement following the Eid holiday period.

This document is a collection of news clips from July 7, 2024, compiled by a website called "Duniya Kapano July" (World-Shaking July), aggregating headlines from dozens of Bangladeshi newspapers (both Bengali and English) covering a major political crisis in Bangladesh. The main topics covered are: 1. The Anti-Quota Movement ("Bangla Blockade"): Students across Bangladesh launched a nationwide highway blockade ("বাংলা ব্লকেড") demanding abolition of the government job quota system, particularly the freedom fighter (muktijoddha) quota. Students boycotted classes and exams, blocked major highways including Dhaka-Tangail and Dhaka-Chittagong, and protests spread to universities nationwide including Dhaka University, Jagannath University, and Rajshahi University. 2. University Teachers' Strike: Public university teachers simultaneously conducted work stoppages ("কর্মবিরতি") over the universal pension scheme, paralyzing higher education institutions. 3. Political Reactions: BNP leaders Mirza Fakhrul and others declared moral support for both movements, while ruling Awami League's Obaidul Quader accused BNP of exploiting the protests. The government stated it was closely monitoring the situation, and Prime Minister suggested the quota issue should be resolved by the High Court.

This opinion article by Dr. Kazi Maruful Islam, published in The Daily Star on August 5, 2026, examines Bangladesh's political and institutional struggles in the two years following the July-August 2024 mass uprising, using Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson's framework from Why Nations Fail to argue that the country's extractive institutions are actively resisting democratic reform. The article covers several interconnected challenges: entrenched political and economic elites blocking reform commission proposals, internal fragmentation between political forces like the BNP and the new National Citizen Party, economic instability with inflation at 9.17%, disruptions in education and the bureaucracy, and the spread of misinformation on social media. The author also notes that the Bangladesh Armed Forces remain the only institution maintaining relative stability. The piece concludes with an urgent warning that Bangladesh's elites must be pressured into genuine consensus on reform agendas before elections are held, or the country risks repeating its cycle of extractive governance and institutional failure.

This news article from The Daily Star (Bangladesh) commemorates the events of August 3, 2024, a pivotal day in Bangladesh's mass uprising against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. On that date, tens of thousands of protesters gathered at Dhaka's Central Shaheed Minar, where movement organizer Nahid Islam rejected Hasina's offer for dialogue and declared a single unified demand: the resignation of Hasina and her entire cabinet. The protest had originated in July 2024 as a movement against the government job quota system before escalating into a broader anti-government uprising. The article covers key events of that day, including the army chief's directive to troops to protect citizens, ongoing violence that killed at least two people and injured 55 others across seven districts, and the Awami League's defiant response — with party secretary Obaidul Quader blaming the unrest on a "third party" seeking to destabilize Bangladesh. The piece is published two years after the events, framed as a retrospective look at a critical turning point in what is referred to as the July Uprising.

"বাংলা মা" (Mother Bengal) is a protest song written and performed by CHEF-IQ, produced and mixed by BIHAN, published on November 2, 2024, on a website documenting the July 2024 movement in Bangladesh. The lyrics condemn state violence against student protesters, including police brutality, shootings, and suppression of free speech, while calling on citizens to resist authoritarian rule and not abandon the streets. The song references Bangladesh's history of liberation struggles (1952 language movement, 1971 independence war) and frames the July 2024 student uprising as a continuation of that legacy, urging solidarity and accountability for those killed during the protests.

This news article, published by Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS), features an exclusive interview with Hasnatul Islam Faiyaz, a 17-year-old student who was arrested and tortured during Bangladesh's 2024 July Uprising — a mass protest movement against government job quota policies. Faiyaz describes being picked up by police on July 24, 2024, subjected to physical torture at a Detective Branch office for refusing to give false testimony against fellow protesters, and brought to court with his hands tied in rope, which sparked nationwide public outrage. Despite enduring brutal beatings and being held in overcrowded detention, he was eventually transferred to a Juvenile Correction Centre in Gazipur, where he remained until the movement succeeded and former Prime Minister Hasina fled the country on August 5, 2024. Main topics covered include: Faiyaz's motivations for joining the anti-discrimination quota reform protests His arrest, detention conditions, and torture by law enforcement His refusal to provide false testimony despite severe physical abuse The broader atmosphere of the July Uprising, including student solidarity and casualties His reflections on justice, the movement's outcomes, and his hopes for Bangladesh's future

This news article, published by Dhaka Tribune, is a retrospective piece commemorating the one-year anniversary of events on July 22, 2024, during Bangladesh's "Monsoon Revolution" — a period of widespread anti-government protests centered on quota reform. The article covers three main topics: the escalating violence and crackdown, in which the death toll reached 187, nearly 1,200 people were detained, and a curfew was in place with only a brief four-hour relief window; Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's response, in which she met with business leaders and blamed Jamaat-Shibir and the BNP for orchestrating the unrest, while BNP denied involvement and characterized it as a student-led movement; and the protest movement's status, including student coordinators losing contact with four colleagues and demanding their whereabouts be disclosed within 24 hours, and coordinator Nahid Islam relocating for security after being previously abducted. Overall, the article paints a picture of a deeply polarized political crisis, with the government framing the unrest as a political conspiracy while protesters and opposition figures characterized it as legitimate, student-led resistance against state oppression.

This news article from The Business Standard (published August 8, 2025) reports on a statement made by Nahid Islam, convener of Bangladesh's National Citizen Party (NCP), calling for a new political culture grounded in the values of the 2024 July Uprising rather than the 1971 Liberation War framework. Nahid argued that the 2024 uprising created a new political reality centered on equity, dignity, justice, and national reconciliation, and that clinging to the old "pro-'71 vs. anti-'71" political binary is outdated and authoritarian. He emphasized that while 1971 should be respected as historical foundation, the spirit of 2024 — defined by unity, consensus, and collective responsibility — must now guide Bangladesh's political direction.

This Prothom Alo news article covers the first anniversary of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (বৈষম্যবিরোধী ছাত্র আন্দোলন), documenting the events of July 1, 2024, when students launched organized protests at Dhaka University's Raju Sculpture (টিএসসি) demanding reinstatement of the 2018 circular that had abolished the government job quota system. The protest began at the university library, marched through campus, and concluded with a rally where coordinator Nahid Islam announced a class-and-exam boycott through July 4 and declared that Shahbag intersection would be blockaded on July 2–4. The article also details how the movement spread nationwide, with students at Jahangirnagar University blocking the Dhaka-Aricha highway and students at Rajshahi University and Bangladesh Agricultural University holding demonstrations. Movement organizer Abu Bakers Majumdar revealed that protests were simultaneously coordinated across 11 locations under the movement's banner on that single day. The protests were triggered by a High Court ruling on June 5, 2024 that declared the quota-abolition circular illegal, prompting students to mobilize throughout June before launching the formal nationwide movement on July 1.

Government and political reactions: Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader stated the government was "cautiously monitoring" both the quota and teachers' pension movements, warned party activists to remain alert, and accused BNP of exploiting the quota issue for political gain against the government.

This news article from August 3, 2026, reports on a seminar held at Dhaka University titled "July Uprising, Bangladeshi Nationalism, and Democracy," organized by the Faculty of Social Sciences. The central focus is a speech by Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. A B M Obaidul Islam, who described the July mass uprising (referencing events culminating on August 5, 2024) as a landmark moment in Bangladesh's democratic history and a symbol of public resistance against autocracy and repression. The VC's key arguments were that no authoritarian regime can sustain power by suppressing free speech and ignoring public will, that the uprising evolved from a quota reform protest into a broader movement for human rights and democracy, and that student participation demonstrated youth awareness of democratic values. He drew historical parallels between the July uprising and the falls of British colonial rule and Pakistani oppression, framing all as inevitable consequences of authoritarian governance.

This document is a comprehensive collection of news clippings from Bangladeshi newspapers dated July 9, 2024, compiled by a team called "Duniya Kapano July" (World-Shaking July), covering coverage from dozens of Bengali and English-language newspapers including Prothom Alo, Daily Star, Kaler Kantho, Jugantor, and many others. The central topic is the anti-quota reform movement in Bangladesh, in which students conducted a "Bangla Blockade" — blocking roads and railways across Dhaka and nationwide — demanding the abolition of the government job quota system, particularly the freedom fighter quota. Key issues covered include: the severe traffic paralysis caused by the protests, the government's position that the matter should be resolved through the Supreme Court (where an appeal was pending), and closed-door emergency meetings held by five ministers including Obaidul Quader to discuss the crisis. A major secondary theme is the political dimension of the protests, with the ruling Awami League accusing BNP of instigating the movement, while BNP leader Mirza Fakhrul stated his party "supports but does not incite" the protests. Additional topics include threats made against protest coordinators' families, the formation of a 65-member student coordination committee, the Attorney General urging protesters to be patient pending a final court verdict, and widespread public suffering caused by the blockades.

This news article from the Dhaka Tribune covers events of August 3, 2024, as part of a retrospective series called "Monsoon Revolution." At Shaheed Minar, Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (ADSM) Coordinator Nahid Islam replaced a nine-point charter with a single demand: the resignation of the Sheikh Hasina government, followed by a declared non-cooperation movement beginning August 4. The article details widespread unrest across Bangladesh, including nationwide highway blockades, violent clashes between protesters and Awami League-affiliated groups (Jubo League and Chhatra League), attacks on BNP leaders' homes in Chittagong, and assaults on journalists. Multiple political parties — including the BNP, Communist Party of Bangladesh, and Islamic Andolan Bangladesh — joined the student movement's demands. Key figures mentioned include Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman, who pledged the military's support for the public, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who offered dialogue, and over 600 BRAC University faculty members who issued a solidarity statement demanding accountability. By this point, over 11,000 people had been arrested since the movement began.

This document is a collection of protest songs (গান) from July 2024, published on a Bengali-language archive website called "দুনিয়া কাঁপানো জুলাই" (World-Shaking July), which documents Bangladesh's student protest movement of that period. The songs, released between July 16-19, 2024, address the quota reform movement in Bangladesh, expressing anger at government violence against student protesters, including the killing of Abu Sayed and others shot by security forces. Key themes include demands for an end to the civil service quota system, condemnation of what the songs call authoritarian governance, references to historical Bangladesh independence struggles (1952, 1971), and calls for justice and systemic reform. The website itself serves as a broader archive of the July 2024 uprising, organizing content by political parties, media, activists, and songs — with this particular section cataloguing rap and protest music composed specifically in response to the student demonstrations and government crackdown.

This news article from the Dhaka Tribune covers events from July 27, 2025, during a period of significant civil unrest in Bangladesh. The Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police detained Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (ADSM) coordinators Hasnat Abdullah and Sarjis Alam for "safety and questioning," following the earlier detention of three other ADSM coordinators, prompting university teachers to gather outside the DB office demanding transparency — a request that went unanswered. The article also covers the government's response to a nationwide internet disruption, with ICT State Minister Zunaid Ahmed Palak claiming the internet "just went down" rather than being deliberately shut down, while Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited the injured and characterized the broader unrest as an economic sabotage plot. Additional context includes reports of custodial torture of opposition figures, with BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir condemning the abuse, and a tearful plea from the wife of detained former DUCSU VP Nurul Haque Nur. The piece is set against a backdrop of over 9,000 arrests and at least 210 deaths since July 18, 2025, reflecting a severe political and security crisis in Bangladesh.
