Diplomats visit July museum
This news article from the Dhaka Tribune (published February 3, 2026) reports on foreign diplomats based in Dhaka visiting the July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum ahead of its public opening. The museum is housed in Ganabhaban, the former official residence of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and commemorates the approximately 4,000 people killed during the 2024 mass uprising that ended her rule. During the two-hour visit, Cultural Affairs Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki guided the diplomats through the museum, and attendees observed a one-minute silence for the victims. Representatives from dozens of countries and international organizations attended, including ambassadors from the EU, US, Russia, China, France, and others, with the EU ambassador describing the museum as "inspiring" and an important reminder of how mass uprisings occur.
