An injured participant in the July uprising has blamed political parties that came to power after the mass movement for the tragic deaths of his four brothers, who took their own lives by consuming poison. “I hold the post-uprising political parties responsible. Secondly, I blame the government that rose to power on the backs of our sacrifices,” he stated. “They should have ensured proper medical treatment and rehabilitation for those injured in the uprising.” He further criticized the authorities, noting, “Ten months have passed, yet fewer than 50 injured individuals have been sent abroad for treatment out of more than 22,000 wounded. We even pleaded with the Chief Adviser, saying our limbs are rotting, please save us.
