July-August uprising: Govt publishes gazette of 834 martyrs

News Desk :: The government has published a gazette listing the name of 834 martyrs of the July-August mass uprising. The Liberation War Affairs Ministry issued the gazette notification on Thursday. Besides the names, gazette numbers, medical case IDs, father’s names, current addresses and permanent addresses were mentioned in the list.

The first-phase final list of those who were martyred or injured during the historic mass uprising of July and August 2024 was published on the official website, accessible at https://medical-info.dghs.gov.bd/public on January 1.

Over 1000 people were killed and many injured in attacks by law enforcers and then ruling party men during the mass uprising which spanned from July 15 to August 5.

Those who were affected during this period but were not included in the first-phase list are invited to submit their applications for consideration with necessary documents, said a Health Ministry handout. On October 6, last year, the interim government published a preliminary list of people who died during the student-led mass upsurge in July and August.

The government published a draft list of 708 names on the website of the Health Services Division under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on September 24, 2024.
