Families of July uprising victims block Shahbagh, demand justice
Staff Correspondent
Family members of the victims of the July uprising blocked the busy Shahbagh intersection on Tuesday, demanding justice for the killings and official government recognition.
The protesters, under the banner of the July 24 Shaheed Family, took to the streets to press home their demands, including justice for the victims, proper medical treatment for the injured, and formal recognition from the government.
The blockade brought traffic in the area to a standstill, causing significant disruptions, particularly for commuters heading to nearby hospitals.
Earlier, on 2 February, victims undergoing treatment at the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (Pangu Hospital) staged a similar demonstration, blocking Mirpur Road with the same demands.
A UNB photographer from the scene confirmed the complete standstill in traffic due to the protest.
