July 22: As death toll hits 187, Hasina meets business leaders amid nationwide crackdown

This news article, published by Dhaka Tribune, is a retrospective piece commemorating the one-year anniversary of events on July 22, 2024, during Bangladesh's "Monsoon Revolution" — a period of widespread anti-government protests centered on quota reform. The article covers three main topics: the escalating violence and crackdown, in which the death toll reached 187, nearly 1,200 people were detained, and a curfew was in place with only a brief four-hour relief window; Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's response, in which she met with business leaders and blamed Jamaat-Shibir and the BNP for orchestrating the unrest, while BNP denied involvement and characterized it as a student-led movement; and the protest movement's status, including student coordinators losing contact with four colleagues and demanding their whereabouts be disclosed within 24 hours, and coordinator Nahid Islam relocating for security after being previously abducted. Overall, the article paints a picture of a deeply polarized political crisis, with the government framing the unrest as a political conspiracy while protesters and opposition figures characterized it as legitimate, student-led resistance against state oppression.

What is happening at the National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital?

This news article from the Dhaka Tribune (published June 12, 2025) reports on an ongoing crisis at the National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital in Agargaon, Bangladesh, where regular outpatient services have been suspended for over two weeks, with only emergency services operational. The crisis was triggered on May 25, 2025, when four injured protesters from the July 2024 uprising allegedly consumed poison during a meeting to protest what they described as negligent treatment. Tensions escalated on May 28 when protesters demanded medical treatment abroad, leading to a physical clash between hospital staff and protesters that resulted in a complete nine-day shutdown. The hospital's daily patient footfall dropped from its normal 3,000–4,000 people to virtually none. A government-appointed expert committee examined the patients and concluded that treatment had been satisfactory, recommending discharge or referral rather than overseas treatment, though 24 of 54 patients refused examination. Hospital authorities expected full operations to resume on June 14, while protest representatives warned of a renewed movement following the Eid holiday period.

Sarjis: Jobs will be based on merit, regardless of ideology

This news article from the Dhaka Tribune covers statements made by Sarjis Alam, general secretary of the July Shaheed Smrity Foundation, regarding job recruitment in Bangladesh's civil service. He criticized the re-verification process of the 43rd BCS (Bangladesh Civil Service) exam, in which 168 candidates were disqualified largely based on political background intelligence reports rather than merit. Alam argued that government jobs are a constitutional right and should be awarded based on merit alone, regardless of a candidate's or their family's political affiliations. He drew parallels to the previous Awami League era, where non-party members faced barriers to top government positions, and warned that continuing such politically influenced screening practices could erode public trust in the system and drive talented young Bangladeshis to seek opportunities abroad.
