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.

Summary of Ganabhaban Wikipedia Article This Wikipedia article describes Ganabhaban (meaning "People's House"), the official residence of former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, located in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka. The building was originally constructed in 1973-1974 under Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, though he never personally lived there, and it subsequently served various functions including as a court-martial venue and a state guest house under different governments. The article covers the building's political history, including Sheikh Hasina's controversial one-taka lease of the property in 2001, her eventual move-in in March 2010 after a 2009 law formally assigned it to her, and notable events that occurred there during her tenure. Most significantly, it documents the storming and looting of Ganabhaban by protesters during the July 2024 Uprising that led to Hasina's resignation, followed by the interim government's September 2024 announcement to convert the building into the July Uprising Memorial Museum, preserving its post-storming condition as a historical exhibit.

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.

Summary of the July Declaration The July Declaration (জুলাই ঘোষণাপত্র) is an official document announced by Bangladesh's Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus on 5 August 2025, marking the first anniversary of the July Uprising that ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Awami League government. The declaration contains 28 commitments that formally recognize the 2024 student-led uprising, reject the political framework of the former Awami League government, and outline goals including constitutional restructuring, democratic reforms, free and fair elections, and accountability for alleged crimes such as extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances. The document is retroactively dated to 5 August 2024 and calls for its eventual inclusion in Bangladesh's constitution. It has received mixed reactions, with some political parties and leaders endorsing it, while others — including Islamist groups, leftist parties, the National Citizen Party, and British journalist David Bergman — criticized it for being incomplete, politically selective, or factually one-sided in its portrayal of the Awami League era.

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.
