An event titled “July Beyond Borders” was organized on Friday at the Embassy of Bangladesh in Washington, D.C marking the first anniversary of the July-August Uprising.
The July-August Mass Uprising was a milestone in Bangladesh's democracy and the just rights of its people.
With the unprecedented participation of students and the masses, the uprising of July-August led to the fall of the Hasina government.
Before fleeing, Hasina-led government killed at least 1,400 students and civilians.
In exchange for the blood of hundreds of martyrs, Bangladesh was freed from fascism.
A poster and photo exhibition focusing on the glorious days of the July-August Mass Uprising, the movement, and the genocide was organized at the Embassy auditorium.
A documentary film based on the genocide was also screened. Many of those who played a vital role in Bangladesh’s mass uprising while residing in the United States were invited to the Embassy; they viewed still images and videos of the uprising.
Members of the Bangladeshi community, professionals from various fields, expatriate Bangladeshis, and officials and staff of the Embassy were present.
