The UN Human Rights Commission will publish its fact-finding report on the July-August 2024 mass uprising in Bangladesh, led by the student movement against inequality, in February. The report, nearing completion, will be shared with Bangladesh before its release. Chief Advisor Dr. Muhammad Yunus thanked the UN for investigating the crimes during the student-led rebellion and emphasized that reports from six independent commissions will also be released. Yunus also urged the UN to support resolving the Rohingya crisis with a proposed safe zone in Myanmar’s Rakhine region.

The government will provide financial assistance to the families of 834 martyrs and 12,147 injured individuals from the July uprising through savings certificates instead of direct allowances. Martyrs’ families will receive certificates worth BDT 3 million each, while injured individuals will receive BDT 100,000 to 500,000 based on severity. Monthly profits from these certificates will begin in February. The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs will oversee the initiative, which costs BDT 6.38 billion. Additional funds are allocated for medical services and alternative arrangements for objectors.
