Journalist Raihan Ali, injured during the July Revolution protests in Nilphamari, is now fighting for his life at Vejthani Hospital in Thailand. He was attacked by police on August 4, 2024, while covering events at Chourangi intersection. After receiving treatment at Nilphamari Sadar Hospital, Rangpur Medical College Hospital, and CMH, doctors advised his transfer abroad for advanced care.

According to his family, Raihan has undergone more than 18 surgeries in Thailand, with several more procedures still ahead. His condition remains critical, and his recovery is uncertain. Meanwhile, his elderly parents and four-year-old son Labib are living in deep anxiety back home in Nilphamari, struggling emotionally and financially as the family’s resources have been exhausted.

Colleagues and members of the journalist community have called for urgent financial and institutional support for Raihan’s treatment and his family’s survival, describing it as both a humanitarian and moral responsibility.
