The Bangladesh Parliament has passed the July Uprising Protection and Liability Determination Bill 2026. The bill was introduced by Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed on Wednesday, April 8, and was approved unanimously by voice vote. The legislation provides legal immunity to participants of the July uprising by enabling the withdrawal of all civil and criminal cases filed against them.

According to the law, all related allegations will be annulled following prescribed procedures, and no new legal action can be initiated against individuals involved in the uprising. This effectively grants full legal protection to those associated with the event.

Earlier, the Parliament also passed the Anti-Terrorism (Amendment) Ordinance Bill 2026, which legally allows the government to ban any political party or organization accused of involvement in terrorism. This amendment ensures the legal basis for prohibiting political activities of the ousted Awami League.
