Hasan Mahmud Shuvo, a student of Dhaka International Medical College and resident of Hazariganj Union in Charfassion, Bhola, continues to suffer from leg pain caused by police torture during the 2024 July uprising. He was arrested and beaten by police near Dhaka College on July 27, 2024, leaving him with a lasting knee injury.

Shuvo was an active participant in the 2024 mass movement, joining rallies, writing in media and social platforms, and advocating against injustice. He described witnessing deadly violence on July 19 in Uttara’s BNS Center area, where several protesters were shot. He said he believed silence in the face of oppression was unacceptable and viewed writing as a form of resistance to awaken public conscience and preserve history.

Reflecting on his experience, Shuvo urged the younger generation to remember the sacrifices made for freedom, justice, and democracy, emphasizing that such values never come without struggle.
