We mobilized movement to oust fascist Hasina: Nur Novi | July Uprising

This news article, published by Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS), is an interview with Nur Novi, the chief coordinator of Jagannath University's anti-discrimination student movement, recounting his experiences during the 2024 student uprising in Bangladesh that ultimately led to the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The article details Nur Novi's personal account of leading student protests at Jagannath University, including violent attacks by the pro-government Chhatra League on July 15, 2024, during which he suffered a broken right arm. It also describes his arrest on July 19, 2024, by DB police, during which he was subjected to torture, electric shocks, and a staged mock execution ("crossfire"), followed by imprisonment at Keraniganj Central Jail until August 6, 2024. The piece covers the broader trajectory of the movement, from its origins as a quota reform protest demanding merit-based government recruitment, to its escalation after Sheikh Hasina publicly called student protesters "grandchildren of Razakars," ultimately culminating in her flight from the country on August 5, 2024, which Nur Novi learned about while still imprisoned.
