The interim government of Bangladesh has approved the draft of the July Uprising Protection and Liability Determination Ordinance, which is expected to become law within five to seven days through a gazette notification. The approval was given at a meeting of the advisory council chaired by Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus in Tejgaon. Later, at a press conference at the Foreign Service Academy, Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Asif Nazrul said the ordinance fulfills the government’s commitment to those involved in the July uprising.
According to Nazrul, the ordinance grants immunity from criminal liability to individuals who participated in political resistance activities during July and August aimed at restoring democratic governance by toppling the fascist regime. The government will withdraw existing criminal cases related to such activities, and no new cases can be filed for actions taken during that period. However, acts of violence committed for personal gain or revenge will not be exempted.
The National Human Rights Commission has been tasked with determining whether killings were politically motivated or driven by personal interests. Victims’ families may appeal to the commission, whose investigation reports will carry the same legal weight as police reports in court.
