12 names removed from ‘July fighters’ gazette
This news article from Bangladesh's Dhaka Tribune (published January 31, 2026) reports that the government removed 12 individuals from the official "July Fighters Gazette," a registry recognizing participants in the anti-discrimination student movement (July Uprising). The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs cancelled their recognition under the Martyrs' Families and July Fighters Welfare and Rehabilitation Ordinance, 2025, citing false information used to gain inclusion on the list. The 12 individuals, all from the 'G' category of July fighters, came from Dinajpur district (5 people) and Chandpur district (7 people). This action follows a larger cancellation in October 2025, when 128 July fighters were similarly removed for fraudulent listings or duplicate entries.
