Politics must now be based on the values of ’24: Nahid

This news article from The Business Standard (published August 8, 2025) reports on a statement made by Nahid Islam, convener of Bangladesh's National Citizen Party (NCP), calling for a new political culture grounded in the values of the 2024 July Uprising rather than the 1971 Liberation War framework. Nahid argued that the 2024 uprising created a new political reality centered on equity, dignity, justice, and national reconciliation, and that clinging to the old "pro-'71 vs. anti-'71" political binary is outdated and authoritarian. He emphasized that while 1971 should be respected as historical foundation, the spirit of 2024 — defined by unity, consensus, and collective responsibility — must now guide Bangladesh's political direction.

The children we lost in July uprising

This article from The Daily Star (published August 5, 2026) commemorates the second anniversary of Bangladesh's July 2024 uprising by documenting the children who were killed during the violence. According to the July Shaheed Smrity Foundation, at least 128 children were killed and 2,557 were injured, with a Daily Star analysis identifying 89 child deaths — including 42 students and 29 child labourers — most killed by gunshots or shotgun pellets. The article profiles specific victims, including 16-year-old Aminul Islam Amin and 12-year-old Sayad Mohammad Khan, to illustrate the human cost behind the statistics, noting that many were innocent bystanders killed while on errands or watching from balconies. A UN Fact-Finding Mission cited in the article documented allegations that security forces deliberately targeted children and that minors were exploited and recruited by both the then-Awami League government and opposition groups. Nearly two years on, grieving families report receiving some financial assistance but remain largely uninformed about the progress of legal investigations, while child rights experts are calling for accountability for perpetrators and long-term psychological support for affected families.

Active participation of BNP leaders, activists accelerated July Uprising | Special Stories

This news article from Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS), dated August 4, 2026, reports on the role of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its affiliated organizations in the July Uprising of 2024, which led to the fall of the Awami League government under Sheikh Hasina on August 5, 2024. BNP leaders and activists claim their active participation was a key factor in accelerating the uprising, which resulted in over 1,500 deaths nationwide, with BNP submitting a list of 848 martyrs from their party to the International Crimes Tribunal. The article features statements from multiple BNP-affiliated leaders, including figures from the Jatiyatabadi Juba Dal (JJD) and Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), detailing specific casualty figures — such as 78 JJD members and 144 Chhatra Dal members killed. While emphasizing BNP's significant sacrifices, the party's Political Adviser Ruhul Kabir Rizvi also acknowledges that the uprising was a collective effort involving students, the public, and multiple political parties, rather than the achievement of any single group.

July uprising a major milestone in Bangladesh's democratic journey: DU VC  | Others

This news article from August 3, 2026, reports on a seminar held at Dhaka University titled "July Uprising, Bangladeshi Nationalism, and Democracy," organized by the Faculty of Social Sciences. The central focus is a speech by Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. A B M Obaidul Islam, who described the July mass uprising (referencing events culminating on August 5, 2024) as a landmark moment in Bangladesh's democratic history and a symbol of public resistance against autocracy and repression. The VC's key arguments were that no authoritarian regime can sustain power by suppressing free speech and ignoring public will, that the uprising evolved from a quota reform protest into a broader movement for human rights and democracy, and that student participation demonstrated youth awareness of democratic values. He drew historical parallels between the July uprising and the falls of British colonial rule and Pakistani oppression, framing all as inevitable consequences of authoritarian governance.

July atrocities: Charges yet to be framed in most cases against cops

This article from The Business Standard (Bangladesh) reports on the slow progress of legal proceedings against police personnel accused of committing atrocities during Bangladesh's July 2024 mass uprising. One year after the uprising, approximately 70-80 police officers have been arrested nationwide, but charge sheets have not been filed in most cases, meaning formal trials have not yet begun for the majority of accused officers. Key topics covered include the number of cases and arrests (761 cases filed nationally, 1,168 police named as accused), the identities of high-profile arrestees such as former Inspector Generals of Police, the role of the International Crimes Tribunal (where 27 cases involving 206 accused officers are being processed), and statements from officials defending the slow pace as necessary for thorough investigation. Human rights activists quoted in the article warn that every killing must be prosecuted and that no police personnel should be exempt from accountability.
