July 32: Coordinators released, Jamat banned, streets still ablaze
This news article from the Dhaka Tribune covers events of August 1, 2024, during what is referred to as Bangladesh's "Monsoon Revolution" — a student-led protest movement against the government. The article details three major developments on that date: the release of six detained Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (ADSM) coordinators, the government's formal ban of Islamist political party Jamaat-e-Islami under anti-terrorism laws, and the launch of a nationwide "Remembering Our Heroes" campaign demanding accountability for killings, arrests, and disappearances of protesters. The article also covers related acts of resistance, including university professors staging sit-ins, a professor removing Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's portrait from her office, and musicians withdrawing from government-affiliated concerts. The title references online activists' symbolic proposal to call August "July 32," reflecting their determination to continue protests beyond the bloody month of July.
