Critical UN report must spur accountability & justice in Bangladesh
This February 2025 Amnesty International news article responds to a UN Fact-Finding report on human rights violations in Bangladesh. The UN report found reasonable grounds to believe that the former government led by ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and its security forces systematically committed serious human rights violations — potentially rising to the level of crimes against humanity — during anti-government protests between July 1 and August 15, 2024. Amnesty International's South Asia regional director calls on Bangladesh's Interim Government to act on the UN's key recommendations, including referring the incidents to the International Criminal Court, guaranteeing fair trials, reforming security and justice sectors, and repealing restrictive laws. The article emphasizes that continued engagement with UN human rights mechanisms is essential to deliver justice, accountability, and reparations to victims and survivors.

36 Days of July: saluting the bravehearts
This document is a special archive from The Daily Star (Bangladesh) commemorating the July 2024 uprising that led to the fall of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after 15 years in power. It began as a student-led protest against Bangladesh's government job quota system but escalated into a nationwide mass movement against authoritarian rule, drawing in garment workers, teachers, doctors, and ordinary citizens across class and ideological lines. The archive covers three main phases: The Uprising (how protests spread, the role of women, social media, and ordinary citizens), State Violence (including security force crackdowns, live ammunition use, internet shutdowns, enforced disappearances, and evidence that Hasina personally ordered forces to open fire), and The Reckoning (Hasina's ouster on August 5, 2024, and the formation of an interim government under Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus). Investigations revealed that 95% of the 204 analyzed victims were killed by bullets, with 113 struck by live rounds primarily to the head, chest, and abdomen.

2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement - Wikipedia
This Wikipedia article documents the 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement, a major anti-government student protest that took place from June to August 2024. The movement was initially triggered by the reinstatement of a pre-2018 quota system reserving government jobs for certain groups, following a High Court ruling that struck down a 2018 reform circular. The article covers the movement's timeline (from early June through early August), its demands, the escalating violence and casualties (including an estimated 1,650+ protester deaths and 22,000 injuries), mass arrests (12,000+), and the eventual Supreme Court ruling ordering that 93% of government jobs be filled based on merit. It also details the movement's broader consequences, including a nationwide internet shutdown, curfews, arson of state infrastructure, and the triggering of a subsequent non-cooperation movement that ultimately contributed to the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

New Study Delves Into the Internet Shutdowns of Bangladesh’s 2024 Uprising - Digitally Right
This news article from Digitally Right describes a new research report examining the internet shutdowns that occurred during Bangladesh's 2024 student-led uprising, specifically the 22-day blackout period from July 15 to August 5, 2024. The report, produced by Digitally Right Limited in collaboration with OONI, reconstructs a verified timeline of how the shutdowns were implemented across five distinct phases, linking network disruptions to political events, casualties, and chains of institutional responsibility. Main Topics Covered Scale and tactics: The shutdown was Bangladesh's longest ever, involving nationwide blackouts, bandwidth throttling, cache server deactivations, and social media/VPN blocking Correlation with violence: The most severe network disruptions coincided with spikes in protester deaths and human rights violations Institutional opacity: Shutdowns were carried out through informal directives (including via WhatsApp), with overlapping and unclear authority among multiple government bodies (BTRC, NTMC, DoT) ISP involvement: Internet service providers and mobile operators were used to enforce censorship, often under verbal orders Circumvention crackdown: Authorities actively blocked VPNs and other tools used to bypass restrictions

Joint Letter: Requesting urgent action towards UN human rights monitoring and investigation in Bangladesh
This document is an open letter dated August 19, 2024, signed by 13 human rights organizations including FIDH, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch, addressed to UN member states regarding a severe human rights crisis in Bangladesh. The letter calls on the UN Human Rights Council to establish an independent international investigative mechanism to examine violent events between July 15 and August 5, 2024, during which at least 440 people were killed and thousands injured when Bangladeshi security forces and ruling party supporters violently cracked down on student-led quota reform protests, ultimately leading to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation and flight from the country. The organizations specifically request five actions: establishing an independent evidence-gathering mechanism, mandating ongoing human rights monitoring during the interim government's transition period, ensuring accountability under international law, addressing pre-July 2024 violations including enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings, and strengthening Bangladesh's legal and judicial institutions — citing the government's history of excessive force, internet shutdowns, mass arrests of nearly 10,000 people, and over 600 documented enforced disappearances since 2009.

The Longest Silence: Internet Shutdowns During Bangladesh’s 2024 Uprising
This investigative report, published by Digitally Right and OONI (Open Observatory of Network Interference) in July 2025, documents and analyzes the internet shutdowns that occurred in Bangladesh between July 15 and August 5, 2024, during the student-led uprising that ultimately resulted in the resignation and departure of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The report reconstructs a verified chronological timeline of the shutdowns across five distinct phases, detailing how authorities deployed multiple overlapping tactics — including two complete nationwide internet blackouts (July 18–23 and August 5), mobile data throttling, broadband speed reductions, selective blocking of social media platforms (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, YouTube, and others), and crackdowns on VPN services — making it the longest and most geographically extensive internet shutdown in Bangladesh's history. Key findings include that the most severe disruptions directly coincided with the deadliest periods of protest violence (with an estimated 1,400 total deaths during the period), that shutdown directives were issued informally — often via WhatsApp — by multiple government bodies including BTRC, NTMC, and the Department of Telecommunications with little transparency or legal documentation, and that technical evidence from OONI, IODA, Cloudflare Radar, and Google traffic data independently corroborates the timing and scale of each disruption phase documented through media reporting and operator interviews.

Turmoil at Bangladesh Bank: 6 top officials including BB deputy governors forced to resign
This news article from the Dhaka Tribune reports on a major institutional crisis at Bangladesh Bank (BB) on August 7, 2024, when hundreds of bank officials stormed the central bank's Motijheel headquarters demanding the resignations of top leadership. The protesters, accusing senior officials of supporting former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government and enabling bank looters, forced four deputy governors (Kazi Sayedur Rahman, Nurun Nahar, Md Khurshid Alam, and Md Habibur Rahman), BFIU head Masud Biswas, and bank advisor Abu Farah Nasser to resign or sign blank papers under duress. The article details that Deputy Governor Sayedur Rahman submitted a handwritten resignation and was escorted out under army protection, while others verbally promised to resign but did not submit written documents. The Bangladesh Bank's spokesperson confirmed that since these officials were government-appointed, their resignations would be formally processed by the incoming interim government. Governor Abdur Rouf Talukder was notably absent from the office throughout the events.

How Bangladesh’s ‘Gen Z’ protests brought down PM Sheikh Hasina
This Al Jazeera article chronicles the student-led protests in Bangladesh that ultimately toppled Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's 15-year government in August 2024. The unrest began in June 2024 when the High Court reinstated a quota system reserving one-third of government jobs for descendants of 1971 Liberation War veterans, sparking demonstrations led by university students demanding a merit-based hiring system. The protests escalated dramatically after the government responded with violent crackdowns, internet shutdowns, and a nationwide curfew, resulting in at least 300 deaths and thousands of arrests over several weeks. Despite the Supreme Court scaling back the quota to just 5% on July 21, protesters shifted their demands to call for Hasina's resignation due to the brutal suppression of demonstrations. On August 5, 2024, following a particularly deadly crackdown on August 4th that killed nearly 100 people, Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled Bangladesh by military helicopter, reportedly to India, marking the end of her government amid widespread public outrage.

Anti-Discrimination Student Movement calls for High Court siege
This news article from the Dhaka Tribune (published August 10, 2024) reports on the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement's confrontational actions against Bangladesh's judiciary. Two movement coordinators — Asif Mahmud and Hasnat Abdullah — publicly demanded the resignation of Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan, accusing him of "supporting fascism" and calling a full court meeting without government consultation. Hasnat Abdullah went further by urging supporters via Facebook Live to physically besiege the High Court to halt judicial proceedings and protect what they called the "student-citizen uprising." The article highlights the direct conflict between the student movement (which had ties to Bangladesh's interim government) and the Supreme Court, framing it as part of a broader political power struggle following a period of civil unrest in Bangladesh.

This is not what the movement fought for
This is an editorial from the Dhaka Tribune (published August 17, 2024) criticizing student activists in Bangladesh for engaging in the same authoritarian behaviors they had previously protested against under Sheikh Hasina's government. Specifically, the editorial condemns students for stopping civilians on Dhaka streets, searching their phones and belongings without legal authority, and acting violently toward journalists on August 15, 2024 (the death anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman) near Dhanmondi 32. The editorial's core argument is that with an interim government now in place — one that already includes two student movement representatives in advisory roles — there is no justification for student activists to continue operating in the streets and resorting to the same undemocratic tactics used by groups like Chhatro League and Chhatro Dal, which they had originally opposed.

Joint Letter: Requesting urgent action towards UN human rights monitoring and investigation in Bangladesh
This document is a joint open letter published by Human Rights Watch and 12 other human rights organizations on August 19, 2024, addressed to the UN Human Rights Council, urging urgent action regarding serious human rights violations in Bangladesh. The letter calls for the establishment of an independent international investigative mechanism and ongoing UN monitoring following a deadly government crackdown on student-led quota-reform protests between July 15 and August 5, 2024, which resulted in at least 440 deaths, thousands of injuries, and nearly 10,000 arrests. The letter covers several key topics, including the violent suppression of protests by Bangladeshi security forces and Awami League party supporters, the subsequent resignation and flight of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, post-resignation reprisal attacks against minorities and perceived government supporters, and Bangladesh's broader history of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and torture dating back to 2009. The organizations specifically request that the UN Human Rights Council establish an independent investigative mechanism, mandate comprehensive monitoring throughout the interim government's transition period, and support the new interim government led by Muhammad Yunus in strengthening its legal and judicial capacity to address accountability.

Communication breakdown
This op-ed by Nawrin Sultana, published in the Dhaka Tribune on August 24, 2024, analyzes the rapid collapse of Bangladesh's Awami League government under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after 15 years in power. The author argues that the downfall was primarily caused by a catastrophic failure in political communication rather than organized opposition or a military coup. The piece traces the crisis from its origins in student protests over a discriminatory civil service quota system, through Hasina's inflammatory labeling of protesters as "traitors," to the government's subsequent escalating responses including internet shutdowns, violent crackdowns on students, and a refusal to acknowledge legitimate grievances or apologize. The author contends that these actions severed trust between the government and its citizens, ultimately costing the regime its legitimacy within just 15 days. The article concludes with a broader lesson for democratic governments worldwide: that effective, honest communication with citizens is essential to maintaining power, and that suppressing dissent through force and rhetoric inevitably accelerates a government's downfall.

2024 Bangladesh internet blackouts - Wikipedia
Summary of 2024 Bangladesh Internet Blackouts This Wikipedia article covers the government-ordered internet shutdowns that occurred in Bangladesh between July 18 and August 5, 2024, during the July Uprising, a protest movement against government job quota policies. The main topics covered include two distinct blackout phases: the first lasting 10 days (July 18–28), during which broadband and mobile internet were progressively restored but social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram remained blocked; and a second shorter shutdown on August 4–5, which ended only after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned. The article also details the political background, specifically the quota reform protests that triggered the shutdowns, along with the significant economic impact on banking and communications. Additionally, the article covers the post-government investigation, which found that ICT Minister Zunaid Ahmed Palak verbally ordered the internet shutdown without proper administrative approval, and that official claims blaming a data center fire were false. In December 2025, the International Crimes Tribunal issued an arrest warrant against Sajeeb Wazed Joy in connection with the shutdowns.

This is a first-person memoir published on the July Archive (জুলাই আর্কাইভ) website, written by Sabbir Ahmed, a student of Islamic History and Culture at Dhaka University from Sherpur, Bogura. The article, published November 1, 2024, recounts his personal experience of participating in and being injured during the July 2024 student uprising in Bangladesh. The account details his participation in protests from July 2–17, 2024, including the pivotal events of July 15–17 when Chhatra League (the ruling party's student wing) violently attacked protesters at Dhaka University, injuring hundreds of students. He describes being ambushed and beaten with sticks on the street near Kataban by Chhatra League members while attempting to leave campus — an attack he later identified as being led by Abu Yunus, the Chhatra League General Secretary of Bijoy Ekattor Hall. After the attack, he sought medical treatment at a hospital in Kalyanpur, spent over a week recovering at his aunt's home during a government-imposed curfew, and ultimately returned to Bogura to recuperate — before rejoining protests there, which eventually led to the fall of the government.

This document is a timeline archive of the July 2024 anti-discrimination student uprising (জুলাই অভ্যুত্থান) in Bangladesh, compiled by the "July Archive" project under Chief Co-ordinator Dewan Tahmid. It chronicles a student-led protest movement that began in response to a court ruling that reinstated the freedom fighter (muktijoddha) quota system in government jobs (grades 9–13), which had been abolished in 2018. The timeline covers key events from June 5 to July 1, 2024, including the High Court verdict reinstating the quota, subsequent protests at Dhaka University and other institutions, and the formation of the "Boishamya-birodhi Chhatra Andolan" (Anti-Discrimination Student Movement). Students issued a 4-point demand, including restoring the 2018 merit-based recruitment circular, reforming the quota system through a commission, and ensuring a corruption-free civil service.

হেলিকপ্টার দেখতে গিয়ে গুলিতে শহীদ সুমাইয়া - জুলাই আর্কাইভ
This Bengali news article, published on November 7, 2024 by July Archive, tells the story of Sumaiya Akter, a 20-year-old woman who was killed by a bullet on July 20, 2024, during Bangladesh's anti-government protests. Originally from Mehendiganj, Barisal, Sumaiya had moved to Narayanganj with her family due to poverty, worked in a garment factory, married a coworker named Jahid Hossain, and had recently given birth to a daughter named Suaiba just two and a half months prior to her death. Sumaiya was shot in the head while standing on her mother's sixth-floor balcony in Siddhirganj, Narayanganj, watching a helicopter flying low overhead during clashes between security forces and student protesters on the Dhaka-Chittagong highway below. According to eyewitnesses, including her mother, the bullet — fired from or near the helicopter — pierced the balcony's steel railing before striking the left side of Sumaiya's head, killing her instantly. The article frames her death within the broader context of the 2024 Bangladeshi student uprising against what it describes as an authoritarian government, portraying Sumaiya as a martyr ("shahid") who was an innocent bystander, leaving behind her infant daughter and grieving family.

This document is a news archive from July 19–22, 2024, compiled by "July Archive" (জুলাই আর্কাইভ), covering the massive student-led quota reform protests in Bangladesh that rapidly escalated into a nationwide crisis. The archive documents how protests against Bangladesh's government job quota system — particularly reservations for descendants of 1971 Liberation War veterans — turned violently deadly, with at least 56–100+ people killed, a nationwide internet blackout imposed, and the government declaring a curfew with shoot-on-sight orders and deploying the army. Key events covered include attacks on the state broadcaster BTV, a prison break in Narsingdi where 826 inmates escaped, Metro Rail stations being vandalized, and widespread clashes between protesters, police, and ruling party student wing Chhatra League. By July 21–22, Bangladesh's Supreme Court scrapped most of the contested quotas (reducing reserved quotas to approximately 7%), the government promised compensation to affected families, and protesters temporarily suspended their movement for 48 hours — though demonstrations continued as student leaders demanded further accountability for the violence committed against them.

শহীদ রাজমিস্ত্রী তুহিন আহমেদ - জুলাই আর্কাইভ
This is a memorial article from the "July Archive" (জুলাই আর্কাইভ) about Tuhin Ahmed, a 28-year-old bricklayer (রাজমিস্ত্রী) who was killed on July 20, 2024, during Bangladesh's student-led quota reform movement. He was shot in the abdomen by a stray bullet while returning home from work on Chittagong Road in Narayanganj, and died despite being rushed between multiple hospitals. The article focuses on the devastating impact of his death on his family — particularly his wife Riya Sheikh, who was stranded at her parents' home due to curfew and could not reach him in time, and their 3-year-old son Ayat, who still visits his father's grave waiting for him to return. The central emotional theme is captured in Ayat's repeated question: "Baba, why don't you come back?" The piece, written by a student at Chittagong University, emphasizes that Tuhin was an ordinary, apolitical working man whose death highlights the human cost of state violence during the 2024 uprising, leaving behind a grieving family with debt, no income, and unanswered questions about accountability.

This is a Bengali-language news article from the "July Archive" documenting the story of Liza Akter, a 19-year-old martyr from the 2024 Bangladesh uprising. It was published on November 17, 2024. The article recounts how Liza, a poor girl from Bhola district, moved to Dhaka to work as a domestic worker in Shantinagar to escape poverty. On July 18, 2024, during protests following the death of first martyr Abu Sayed, she was struck by a bullet in her abdomen while standing on a 7th-floor balcony watching the unrest below — despite having no involvement in the demonstrations. After four days of fighting for her life in hospital, Liza died on July 22, 2024. The article bitterly notes that while the ruling autocratic government mourned damage to infrastructure (such as the metro rail) that day, they made no mention of victims like Liza — a young woman who had come to Dhaka solely to feed herself and her family, only to be killed by a stray bullet.

প্রজ্ঞাপন প্রত্যাখ্যান করে ছাত্রজনতা হত্যার বিচার দাবি: চাপের মুখে সরকারের ইন্টারনেট চালু – July-36
This is a Bengali news article dated July 23, 2024, documenting a critical day during Bangladesh's quota reform protest movement. The government issued a gazette notification allocating 93% of public sector jobs on merit basis, but protest coordinators rejected it, instead demanding justice and accountability for the killing and injuring of student protesters. Meanwhile, the government partially restored broadband internet in some areas under pressure, though social media remained blocked, and a curfew remained in effect with mass arrests continuing nationwide — over 1,100 people arrested in a single day, with the total surpassing 2,500.

This document is a news clipping compilation from July 4, 2024, archived by a website called "Duniya Kapano July" (World-Shaking July), collecting headlines from approximately 50+ Bangladeshi newspapers (both Bengali and English) covering a single day's events. The main topic is the anti-quota protest movement in Bangladesh, in which university students across the country were demanding the abolition of the quota system in government jobs — particularly the freedom fighter (Muktijoddha) family quota. On this day, students blockaded major roads and railways at key locations including Shahbagh intersection in Dhaka (for a second consecutive day), the Dhaka-Aricha highway (Jahangirnagar University), Dhaka-Chittagong highway (Comilla University), and the Chittagong-Hathazari road (Chittagong University), among others nationwide. Secondary topics covered include political reactions — with BNP being accused of exploiting the student movement, Jatiya Party MP GM Kader criticizing the quota system in parliament, and a High Court ruling on the freedom fighter quota remaining unresolved with hearings postponed.

‘Hasina mastermind of July atrocities’
This August 5, 2026 article from The Daily Star (Bangladesh) reports that the Investigation Agency of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has submitted a probe report identifying deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as the "mastermind and superior commander" behind crimes against humanity committed during the July uprising, with former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former IGP Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun named as co-accused. The report brings five charges against Hasina, including incitement (after she publicly called student protesters "children of Razakars") and directly ordering state forces to use deadly weapons, helicopters, drones, and armored vehicles against protesters — supported by recorded phone conversations. According to the report, more than 1,500 people were killed and over 25,000 wounded, with additional allegations including systematic violence against women and children, burning of bodies, and blocking medical treatment for injured protesters. ICT Chief Prosecutor Tajul Islam stated that formal charges could be filed within two to three weeks, pending review of evidence, and noted the crimes are classified as crimes against humanity rather than genocide. Hasina is currently in India following the fall of her government, and this case is one of at least three she faces before the ICT.

রাজু ভাস্কর্যে ছাত্রসমাবেশ, ঢাকার বাইরেও বিক্ষোভ
This Prothom Alo news article covers the first anniversary of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (বৈষম্যবিরোধী ছাত্র আন্দোলন), documenting the events of July 1, 2024, when students launched organized protests at Dhaka University's Raju Sculpture (টিএসসি) demanding reinstatement of the 2018 circular that had abolished the government job quota system. The protest began at the university library, marched through campus, and concluded with a rally where coordinator Nahid Islam announced a class-and-exam boycott through July 4 and declared that Shahbag intersection would be blockaded on July 2–4. The article also details how the movement spread nationwide, with students at Jahangirnagar University blocking the Dhaka-Aricha highway and students at Rajshahi University and Bangladesh Agricultural University holding demonstrations. Movement organizer Abu Bakers Majumdar revealed that protests were simultaneously coordinated across 11 locations under the movement's banner on that single day. The protests were triggered by a High Court ruling on June 5, 2024 that declared the quota-abolition circular illegal, prompting students to mobilize throughout June before launching the formal nationwide movement on July 1.
