Gono Odhikar Parishad leader Abu Hanif alleged that police, RAB, and BGB were involved in the brutal killings during the July uprising. While not all officers were complicit, those directly responsible must be identified and brought to justice, he said. Hanif claimed that, according to official records, over 800 students and civilians were martyred, though the actual number was closer to 2,000. He questioned the government’s attempts at “reforms” without first banning the Awami League and prosecuting those responsible for the massacre. He also criticized the slow progress of the International Crimes Tribunal, expressing concerns over whether justice would ever be served.
