'Nothing has changed': Fakhrul laments persistence of bribery, obstruction
This news article from The Daily Star (Bangladesh), dated August 5, 2026, reports on remarks made by LGRD Minister and BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, who publicly lamented that corruption and bureaucratic obstruction persist within Bangladesh's administration despite the July Uprising — a political movement driven by public demand for systemic change. Speaking at a government-organized event, Fakhrul stated that officials who previously took bribes and blocked reforms are still doing so, merely rebranding themselves as supporters of the uprising. Despite his frustration, Fakhrul expressed confidence in Prime Minister Tarique Rahman as a leader genuinely committed to reform, calling on citizens to support him. He emphasized that meaningful change requires a shift in mindset across all levels of society — not just in government — for the sacrifices of the July Uprising to produce lasting results.

This document is a forensic video analysis of a massacre that occurred outside Jatrabari police station in Bangladesh on August 5, 2024, compiled from verified cell phone and social media footage. It examines how Bangladeshi police deliberately opened fire on civilian protesters participating in a mass march calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled the country later that same day.

July then and now: Remembering the month that changed us
This is a personal opinion piece published in The Daily Star (Bangladesh) on August 5, 2026, written by Maisha Islam Monamee to mark the second anniversary of what is referred to as the "July Uprising" of 2024 in Bangladesh.

The piece is primarily a meditation on collective trauma and generational memory, exploring how the month of July has become permanently emotionally charged for those who lived through it. The author draws a contrast between her current professional life and who she was during those events, framing July 2024 as a defining "before and after" moment for her generation in Bangladesh. Key topics covered include: Personal psychological impact of the July 2024 uprising Internet shutdowns and information blackouts during the events Student deaths and the transformation of ordinary students into what she calls "martyrs" The lasting nature of collective trauma and involuntary memory triggers Generational loss of innocence regarding political violence

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.

Elections belong to the people, not the politicians
This opinion article, published in The Daily Star on August 5, 2026, argues that Bangladesh's upcoming elections must genuinely reflect the will of its citizens rather than serve the interests of political elites. Written by political commentator Azman Rahman, it frames the 2024 uprising against Sheikh Hasina's government as part of a historical pattern — alongside 1971 and 1990 — in which Bangladeshis have repeatedly risen against suppressed democratic rights. The article's main topics include: the urgency of holding free and fair elections (with the chief adviser targeting February), concerns about political parties pushing for delays or threatening boycotts, the economic and social costs of ongoing instability (including a poverty rate approaching 28%), and the structural reforms needed for credible elections, such as an independent Election Commission and politically neutral security forces. The author warns that further electoral manipulation risks repeating the cycle of public unrest, and emphasizes that with over half the population under 35, restoring faith in democratic participation is critical to Bangladesh's future stability and international credibility.

Media Framing of the July 2024 Uprising in Bangladesh: Testing the Boundaries of Galtung’s Peace Journalism Model
This academic article, published in the International Journal of Peace and Conflict Research (2026), examines how eight major English-language Bangladeshi newspapers covered the July 2024 political uprising that resulted in Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation. Using quantitative content analysis of 98 news reports published between July 14 and August 14, 2024, the researchers apply Johan Galtung's Peace and War Journalism framework to evaluate media framing during the crisis. The study found that newspapers fell into three broad categories: The Daily Star and Dhaka Tribune leaned toward peace journalism, while Daily Sun, The Asian Age, New Age, and The Business Standard reflected war journalism traits. Notably, The Daily Observer and The Bangladesh Today could not be cleanly classified into either category, as they blended elements of both models — a pattern the authors call "mixed framing." The paper's central argument is that this hybrid reporting style challenges Galtung's traditional binary peace/war journalism model, and the authors call for an expanded framework that better accounts for this middle ground, particularly in the context of South Asian political conflict reporting.

Who writes the history of the July Uprising?
This July 29, 2026 opinion article in The Daily Star (Bangladesh), written by student activist Nuzia Hasin Rasha, argues that the political memory of Bangladesh's 2024 July Uprising is being distorted by dominant narratives that erase the contributions of Left and progressive political forces. The author contends that Left organizations — including the Left Democratic Alliance and the Democratic Student Alliance — were active participants from the movement's earliest stages, citing specific documented actions such as press conferences on July 7, 2024, protest marches amid violent repression, and the August 2 "Droho Jatra" rally. The article warns that reducing a broad, pluralistic popular uprising to the achievements of a narrow political elite or select individuals is a historically dishonest pattern repeated throughout Bangladesh's history, and that preserving the movement's collective, plural character is itself a democratic responsibility.

দেশ সংস্কার – July-36
This document is a Bengali protest rap/song titled "দেশ সংস্কার" (Desh Shongkar / Country Reform), performed by artists Gold Cube and Scary Crow, published on November 2, 2024, on a website documenting Bangladesh's July 2024 uprising. The song's main topics include systemic corruption, political tyranny, and student resistance in Bangladesh, drawing on historical protest movements (1947, 1952, and 2024) as inspiration. It criticizes government theft, nepotism, religious exploitation, foreign debt burdens, and border killings by neighboring countries, while referencing real figures such as Abu Sayed (a student killed during the 2024 protests), Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Abrar Fahad, and journalist couple Sagar-Runi. The song opens with a quote from Sheikh Mujibur Rahman criticizing corruption, and calls on students to continue resistance against authoritarianism, using the July 2024 student uprising as its central context and rallying point.

Quota protest: DB picks up three organisers from hospital
This news article from The Daily Star (Bangladesh) reports on the detention of three key organizers of Bangladesh's quota reform protest movement — Nahid Islam, Asif Mahmud, and Abu Baker Majumder — who were taken from Gonoshasthaya Nagar Hospital in Dhaka by plainclothes individuals on the afternoon of August 4, 2026. The Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police claimed the three "sought security" from police, but family members and hospital staff contradicted this, stating they were forcibly removed to an undisclosed location, with their mobile phones confiscated. The article notes this was the second time within a week the trio had been detained, with previous pickups occurring around July 19-20, during which Nahid Islam alleged he was physically tortured and left unconscious under a bridge. All three are students of Dhaka University and key coordinators of the Anti-discrimination Student Movement, which had been organizing protests against the government's quota system for public sector jobs. A planned press briefing by protest coordinators that evening was ultimately not held, reportedly due to significant pressure on the organizers.

Consensus or confrontation? July Charter faces crucial test
This June 2025 news article from the Dhaka Tribune covers the political tensions surrounding Bangladesh's proposed "July Charter," a reform document being drafted by the interim government of Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus following the August 2024 student-led uprising that ousted the Awami League. The article focuses on disagreements between key political actors — particularly the BNP's conditional support for the charter, the NCP and student groups' urgency to finalize both the charter and a "July Proclamation" by July 15, 2025, and divisions among parties over how to characterize the 2024 uprising relative to the 1971 Liberation War. Central topics include the National Consensus Commission's reform process (covering judiciary, elections, police, constitution, and other areas), the BNP's insistence on elected lawmakers deciding contested reforms, the student-led NCP's threat of protests if the proclamation is not issued within a promised 30-working-day deadline, and broader uncertainty about whether genuine political consensus can be achieved before upcoming elections.

Can Bangladesh break free from its extractive past?
This opinion article by Dr. Kazi Maruful Islam, published in The Daily Star on August 5, 2026, examines Bangladesh's political and institutional struggles in the two years following the July-August 2024 mass uprising, using Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson's framework from Why Nations Fail to argue that the country's extractive institutions are actively resisting democratic reform. The article covers several interconnected challenges: entrenched political and economic elites blocking reform commission proposals, internal fragmentation between political forces like the BNP and the new National Citizen Party, economic instability with inflation at 9.17%, disruptions in education and the bureaucracy, and the spread of misinformation on social media. The author also notes that the Bangladesh Armed Forces remain the only institution maintaining relative stability. The piece concludes with an urgent warning that Bangladesh's elites must be pressured into genuine consensus on reform agendas before elections are held, or the country risks repeating its cycle of extractive governance and institutional failure.

‘The July uprising was about truth and justice’
This article from The Daily Star (published August 5, 2026) marks the two-year anniversary of Bangladesh's July-August 2024 student uprising, which toppled an autocratic regime that had ruled for over 15 years. It features first-hand accounts from three female student protesters — Nasita Binte Nasir, Lamisha Jaman, and Kameliya Sharmin Chura — describing the violence they witnessed and survived, including live gunfire, tear gas, military tanks, and attacks by the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL). The women reflect on their motivations, the chaos and brutality of the crackdown, and their disillusionment with post-uprising Bangladesh, where they feel the original goals of truth, justice, and ending discrimination remain largely unfulfilled.

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.

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.

Reform quota system in academic admissions
This opinion article from The Daily Star (Bangladesh), authored by two research associates at the Bangladesh Institute of Governance and Management, argues that Bangladesh's university admission quota system is deeply flawed and in urgent need of reform. The authors highlight recent student protests at Jahangirnagar University and Rajshahi University that successfully pressured administrators to abolish specific quotas, such as heir quotas and vice-chancellor quotas, as evidence of growing public frustration. A particularly striking example cited is the 2024-25 MBBS admissions, where 70% of freedom fighter quota recipients were admitted without meeting standard merit criteria. The article's central proposal is replacing the current rigid, fixed-percentage quota system with a flexible, data-driven model that uses real-time demographic data, machine learning, and predictive analytics to dynamically allocate reserved seats based on actual eligible applicants. The authors also call for stronger eligibility verification through centralized registries and greater transparency through annual public reporting.

জুলাই কারো বাপের না! - জুলাই আর্কাইভ
This is a Bengali-language news article published on July 15, 2025, by retired Major Shafayat Ahmed on the "July Archive" website, reflecting on the first anniversary of Bangladesh's July 2024 uprising against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The article's central argument is that the July revolution belongs to no single person or group ("জুলাই কারো বাপের না" — "July belongs to no one's father"), criticizing those who claim sole credit for the movement. To illustrate this, the author shares a private conversation from August 3-4, 2024, in which an anonymous female military officer leaked sensitive intelligence to him — specifically that Dhaka would be blocked at 13 entry points with layered security forces (Police, RAB/BGB, and Army), and that police had freedom to fire while the army was ordered to maintain distance. The author explains that he was living abroad during the uprising but relayed such intelligence through trusted networks to protest leaders on the ground, arguing that the revolution was a genuine "People's Struggle" involving ordinary citizens, diaspora members, and even conscience-driven junior military officers who risked court-martial to support the movement.

Divided by ideology, united in misogyny: How women of July became targets across Bangladesh's political spectrum
This August 2026 investigative analysis from The Daily Star (Bangladesh) documents how women who rose to prominence during Bangladesh's July Uprising became targets of coordinated, cross-partisan misogynistic harassment online. Journalists analyzed 139 Facebook posts published between August 2024 and July 2026, finding that rival political groups — including the Awami League, BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, and far-right accounts — all deployed strikingly similar tactics against 15 named women, including body-shaming, slut-shaming, rape threats, and doxxing, despite holding opposing ideologies. The article also examines Meta's role in enabling this abuse, noting that recent 2025 changes to the platform's content moderation policies weakened protections against gendered slurs, and that reported violations were frequently left unaddressed.
