This news article from the Dhaka Tribune (dated August 24, 2025) reports on testimony given at Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal-1 (ICT-1) in a crimes against humanity case against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and two other former officials regarding killings during the July 2024 mass uprising. The central witness, Dr. Razibul Islam, a forensic medicine doctor who performed the autopsy on Abu Sayed (a student killed by police during the uprising), testified that law enforcement officials repeatedly pressured and bribed him to falsify the cause of death, offering foreign trips and vacations in exchange for changing his findings from pellet injuries to head injury or neurological shock. He refused, ultimately documenting pellet injuries as the cause of death despite threats against him and his family. The article also notes that by the time of the report, 19 total witnesses had testified, that Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal are believed to be in India and are being tried in absentia, and that the prosecution has filed five charges of crimes against humanity against the three defendants related to killings during the July 2024 uprising.

This news article from The Daily Star (Bangladesh) commemorates the events of August 3, 2024, a pivotal day in Bangladesh's mass uprising against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. On that date, tens of thousands of protesters gathered at Dhaka's Central Shaheed Minar, where movement organizer Nahid Islam rejected Hasina's offer for dialogue and declared a single unified demand: the resignation of Hasina and her entire cabinet. The protest had originated in July 2024 as a movement against the government job quota system before escalating into a broader anti-government uprising. The article covers key events of that day, including the army chief's directive to troops to protect citizens, ongoing violence that killed at least two people and injured 55 others across seven districts, and the Awami League's defiant response — with party secretary Obaidul Quader blaming the unrest on a "third party" seeking to destabilize Bangladesh. The piece is published two years after the events, framed as a retrospective look at a critical turning point in what is referred to as the July Uprising.

The main topics covered are: 1. Student protests demanding quota reform: Students across multiple universities (Dhaka University, Rajshahi, Jahangirnagar, Chittagong, Khulna, SUST, etc.) held marches, rallies, and midnight demonstrations demanding reform of the government job quota system, particularly the 30% freedom fighter quota reinstated by the High Court. Protesters submitted a memorandum to the President and issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the government. 2. High Court's full verdict: The HC's complete ruling reinstating the quota system (declaring the 2018 cancellation circular illegal) was published, with both sides planning to appeal to the Supreme Court. The HC also questioned the legality of the 40% dependent quota in Bangladesh Railway. 3. Government response and political reactions: The government (PM Hasina, Obaidul Quader, Home Minister) stated the matter was sub-judice and out of their hands, while accusing BNP and unnamed groups of exploiting the movement politically. Chhatra League (ruling party's student wing) violently attacked quota reform protesters at multiple campuses, injuring at least 297 people treated at Dhaka Medical College Hospital alone.

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.

This opinion article by economist Dr. S R Osmani, published in The Daily Star on August 5, 2026, argues against the Bangladesh Constitution Reform Commission's proposal to remove "secularism" as a fundamental constitutional principle. Osmani defines secularism at the societal level as a governance principle of state neutrality toward all religious views, distinguishing it from personal irreligiosity, and frames it as an "overlapping consensus" among citizens with differing beliefs. The article systematically counters three arguments for discarding secularism — that it lacks value (the theocratic position), that it is irrelevant to modern Bangladesh, and that proposed new principles like "pluralism" make it redundant — concluding that none of these arguments hold up. Osmani specifically argues that pluralism alone cannot resolve conflicts between incompatible value systems like theocracy and liberal democracy, and that only secularism can operationalize non-discrimination in a religiously diverse society. His central conclusion is that secularism must be retained in the constitution as the foundation of an overlapping liberal democratic consensus, while still allowing legal democratic space for competing ideologies — calling the Commission's proposal to remove it "a grave mistake."

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.

The site also features a broader archive organized by political parties, activists, media, and timelines related to the July 2024 events in Bangladesh.

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.

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.
