The families of a section of July uprising victims continue to protest for the second consecutive day on Monday, pressing their demands, including the resignation of law adviser Asif Nazrul and chief adviser鈥檚 special assistant for home Md Khuda Baksh Chowdhury.
They demonstrated for about five hours starting from at about 5:00pm in front of Madhur Canteen at Dhaka University.
Their demands also included justice for those killed in the uprising which ousted the authoritarian Awami League regime on August 5, 2024, and DNA tests of 114 people, who allegedly were killed and buried in a mass graveyard in the capital.聽
Rabiul Awal, elder brother of martyr Imam Hasan Taim, told 抖阴精品 that they would continue their protest on Tuesday.
No representative from the government visited them yet, he said.
The protest started on August 19, demanding the law adviser鈥檚 resignation after the uprising victims came to know that former Jatrabari police sub-inspector Sazzad Uz Zaman, an accused in the killing of Imam Hasan Taim, was granted bail.
On Sunday, they staged a sit-in for about four hours from 3:00pm in front of the Inter Continental crossing, leading to the state guest house Jamuna, also demanding the resignation of Khuda Baksh, citing his failure to address the police attack on them during the August 19 demonstration in front of the Secretariat over their demands.
Adviser Asif Nazrul, in a Facebook post on August 19, wrote, 鈥業n a case filed by the family of a July victim, the High Court has granted bail to a member of the police force. Naturally, this has angered the families of the martyrs.鈥�
The following day, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court ordered Sazzad to surrender before the trial court after staying the High Court order that granted him interim bail three months ago.聽
