All martyrs of the July 2024 mass uprising have been declared national heroes by the Chief Adviser of the interim government, Dr. Muhammad Yunus. On Tuesday (August 5), he conferred this title through the July Declaration at the South Plaza of the National Parliament.
At the time, he expressed the intention to provide all necessary legal protection to the families of the martyrs, injured fighters, and the participating students and masses.

In addition, the Chief Adviser expressed a firm intention to ensure prompt and appropriate trial of enforced disappearances, killings, massacres, crimes against humanity, and all forms of persecution, oppression, and state property looting committed by the fascist Awami League government during the period of movements and the July 2024 mass uprising.

On August 5 of last year, the fascist Awami League government fell in the face of the student-public uprising. To escape the intense public outrage, then-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India. Subsequently, on August 8, an interim government was formed.
