July 31: March for justice, social media restored
This news article from the Dhaka Tribune covers events of July 31 during Bangladesh's Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (ADSM), specifically focusing on a nationwide "March for Justice." The protest drew participation from students and academics across multiple universities, including ULAB, BUET, and SUST, while police responded with crackdowns including detaining students and seizing red bandanas in Dinajpur and Rajshahi. Notably, the government restored access to social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and WhatsApp after a period of digital blackout. The article also covers political reactions, including statements from Jamaat-e-Islami, BNP, and Awami League, as well as international condemnation from the UN Secretary-General's spokesperson and British Labour MPs of Bangladeshi origin who called for a transparent investigation into the violence surrounding the movement.
