C'nawabganj's streets were bustling with 1-point demands | July Uprising
This news article from BSS (Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha) covers the protest events that took place in Chapainawabganj, Bangladesh on August 4, 2024, as part of the broader Anti-Discrimination Student Movement against the Sheikh Hasina government. Students, parents, and BNP party members filled the streets across five upazila towns, demanding the government's resignation as their singular ("one-point") demand, in response to a quota reform dispute and violent crackdowns on protesters. The article describes how demonstrators chanted slogans calling for justice for those killed, alleging that Chhatra League (Awami League's student wing) attacked peaceful protesters and that police subsequently opened fire on crowds under Hasina's orders, killing students and civilians. The article is part of a retrospective "July Uprising" archive series, published on August 5, 2025 — one year after the events described.
