Child shot on rooftop as PM visits BTV, meets injured at DMCH
This news article, published by the Dhaka Tribune, covers events from July 26, 2024, as part of a retrospective series on Bangladesh's "Monsoon Revolution." It documents the government's intensifying crackdown on the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (ADSM), including military-style block raids in Dhaka neighborhoods, and the detention of three key ADSM coordinators — Nahid Islam, Asif Mahmud, and Abu Baker Mojumder — who were taken from a hospital while receiving treatment for injuries. The article also covers Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to Dhaka Medical College Hospital and the vandalized Bangladesh Television headquarters, as well as the death of six-year-old Riya Gope, who succumbed to a gunshot wound to the head sustained while playing on her rooftop on July 19. Additional topics include the jailing of former Ducsu vice president Nurul Haque Nur, BNP's claims of mass arbitrary arrests, the Awami League's dissolution of 27 ward committees due to organizational failures, and a partial relaxation of curfews in Dhaka and surrounding areas amid continued unrest.
