Prominent political figures, lawyers, journalists, and injured fighters have demanded the immediate implementation of the 'July Charter', justice for those convicted of crimes against humanity including Sheikh Hasina, and proper rehabilitation for injured and martyred families. The demands were made on Saturday, July 11, at a program organized by the July Martyrs Memorial Foundation at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy in Dhaka, where an audio-visual series on the July Revolution and its first song were launched.
Speakers including Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar, ICT Chief Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam, former adviser Sharmin S Murshid, and lawyer Tajul Islam emphasized fulfilling the aspirations of the July Revolution and ensuring equality and justice. They criticized the current parliament and government for neglecting the revolution’s ideals and failing to rehabilitate injured fighters. Several speakers also called for the establishment of a July Museum and media boycott of those opposing the revolution.
Former BFUJ president M Abdullah expressed frustration over the foundation’s financial crisis and urged MPs and officials to contribute one month’s salary. Injured fighters described their dire living conditions, alleging government inaction in their rehabilitation.
