What this register is
This register holds the names and records of people whose deaths are documented as connected to the uprising of July and August 2024: who each person was, when and where they died, what is known of how and who says so, where accountability for the death stands, and what remains unresolved.
It is a memorial and a historical record at once. A name is not kept here as one of a number, and a death is not described here without its source. Where the record is incomplete, the register says so.
It is open, and it is not a list of everyone who died. Many hundreds of people were killed; the register holds the deaths the archive has so far been able to check, and grows as records are read. [1]
The archive’s register of the dead is called “Martyrs” because that is how the state recognises them: the government lists them in a gazette of “martyrs”. [2] The page’s own narration says “killed” and “died”; “shaheed” and “martyr” appear as the words of those who use them.
How a death is recorded
A person is given a memorial entry only when the record can answer each of these questions. Until it can, the death is listed under Not yet in the register.
- Is the person identified by name in at least two independent publications, or in the record of a court?
- Is the death itself documented, with its date?
- Do the sources connect the death to the protests or the crackdown of July and August 2024?
- Is the place known at least to the district?
- Is it known who says how the person died — and is every differing account kept?
- Can the record be published without exposing the family, an address or a child?
- the word “martyr” or “Shaheed” alone — an honorific is a form of remembrance, not evidence of how someone died
- fame, political affiliation, or how widely a death was shared
- a social-media post, memorial graphic or campaign poster with no publication behind it
The register
Ordered by the date of death, then alphabetically. No entry is set above another.
This register records deaths during the protests of July and August 2024. It contains no images and describes how people died only as far as the record requires.

The decisive days
Where they died
People died across Bangladesh. Of the 9 in the register so far, 6 died outside the capital or where the sources disagree on the place. The gaps show where research is needed.
- Chattogram
- Dhaka or Gazipur (the sources differ)
- Habiganj
- Rangpur
- Sirajganj
- Sylhet
Places are given at the level of a district or city, never an address. No map is drawn until the register holds enough records to plot without guesswork.
Who they were
What the people in the register were doing in their lives, as the sources describe it. Workers, children and others who died are not yet in the register; see Not yet in the register.
- StudentsStudents of a university or college at the time, as the sources describe them.
- JournalistsPeople working for newspapers or news websites, as the sources describe them. Whether each was reporting when killed is recorded in their entry, with the accounts where they differ.
Where accountability stands
For each death in the register, the stage reached by any case over it, with the date of the latest source. A status describes a proceeding, never a finding about a person.

New Age lists one of the seven as an unidentified protester.

[26, 27] The archive has not established whether these records describe the same person; see where the records differ.
The tribunal orders that the body identified by DNA as “Abdul” be exhumed and given to his family. [27]
Reported — published by the reports cited; not yet checked against a primary record. Sources: The Business Standard.
The tribunal sentences six people to death — a former member of parliament, a local Jubo League leader and four police members — seven to life imprisonment and two to seven years; one accused who gave evidence for the prosecution is pardoned. Eight of the accused are absconding. No appeal is reported in the sources read. [25, 26]
Reported — published by the reports cited; not yet checked against a primary record. Sources: Prothom Alo; New Age.
Judgments at first instance can be changed on appeal; an appeal whose outcome is not in the sources read is stated as not on record. The full legal history belongs on Crimes & Accountability.
Where the records differ
Sources disagree about some deaths — who fired, where, whether two records are one person. The register does not choose silently: each account is set out with who gave it.
What the register does: The register does not order the dead by who died first, and calls no one “first”. Both deaths are recorded on 16 July 2024. The archive has not checked the times of death.
What the register does: The name, date and place match, but no source read links the two. The journalist is profiled once; the name in the proceeding is not linked to his entry until a source does.
What the register does: The proceeding is listed with “Name not recorded” for the seventh person. Whether “Abdul” is that person, or one of those named under another spelling, has not been established.
Differing accounts within entries
In these entries, who fired or where the death took place is given in accounts that differ or as an allegation; each is attributed in the entry.
Counting the dead
There is no single agreed number. Each published figure is set out with who produced it, what it counts, over what period and how. The register’s own size is not a count of the dead.
| Figure | Produced by | What it counts | Period | As of | How |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| As many as 1,400 deaths | UN human rights office (OHCHR) | Protest-related deaths, including at least 13 women; about 12–13 percent of those killed were children | 15 July – 5 August 2024 | Report of 12 February 2025 | An assessment, not a list: OHCHR compared Ministry of Health records with lists compiled by other sources, including civil society, and removed duplicates. It did not corroborate each death, and states that not every death can be attributed to the state. [1] |
| 841 deaths; 12,272 injuries | Ministry of Health, as cited by OHCHR | Deaths related to the protests (10 of them women) and injuries recorded by the health authorities | The protests | When the OHCHR report was finalised | Hospital records. OHCHR considers them incomplete: staff were overwhelmed, some patients gave no or false names to avoid arrest, families buried some of the dead quickly, and in some cases health authorities were intimidated into not registering deaths. [1] |
| 314 further deaths | National Security Intelligence, as cited by OHCHR | Named people killed during the protests who were not in the Ministry of Health data, 40 of them children | The protests | Provided to OHCHR before February 2025 | Names and dates of death compiled from intelligence and open sources. [1] |
| 834 names | Ministry of Liberation War Affairs | People recognised by the state as martyrs of the July–August uprising | July–August 2024 | Gazette dated 15 January 2025 | An official gazette listing each person’s medical case ID, name, father’s name and addresses, but not the place or date of death. [2, 28] The ministry later said that names found to be false had been removed after verification and the gazette republished; the archive has not established the current number. [29] |
| 493 people | Ministry of Liberation War Affairs | Critically injured people recognised as “July Warriors” in “Category A” | July–August 2024 | Gazette reported on 28 February 2025 | An official gazette of recognition, not a count of all who were injured. [30] |
| 44 police officers killed | Bangladesh Police, BGB, Ansar/VDP and RAB, as cited by OHCHR | Members of the security forces, each force’s own figure: police 44 killed and 2,308 injured; BGB 3 killed and 129 injured; Ansar/VDP 3 and 63; RAB 2 and 307 | 1 July – 15 August 2024 | Provided to OHCHR before February 2025 | Each force’s own figures for its members. [1] |
| 144 deaths | Awami League, as cited by OHCHR | Officials and members of the Awami League and its affiliated organisations killed in attacks | 1 July – 15 August 2024 | Provided to OHCHR before February 2025 | A list with names, dates and causes of death. OHCHR states that it was not in a position to verify these incidents independently. [1] |

The archive’s position
- None. Each figure counts something different, over a different period, by a different method; adding them together or choosing one would misstate all of them.
- Official lists record people identified and registered; the UN figure is an assessment that includes deaths no single list holds. [1] A year later, 114 people buried as unclaimed at Rayerbazar graveyard in Dhaka in July and August 2024 had still not been identified. [31]
- A published, reconciled list of the dead with dates and places, from an official or independent body. When one is found it will be added here, with its date.
Not yet in the register
Deaths the record holds that do not yet have a memorial entry. They are part of this record; what is missing is stated, not hidden.
- People named in the proceedings
The other people named in reports of the Chankharpul, Ashulia and Uttara proceedings are listed under Deaths examined in court, without a memorial entry. [23, 26, 22]
Missing: A second record of who each person was, and their age: some may have been children, who are named here only as the court record names them.
- The unidentified dead
A year after the uprising, 114 people buried as unclaimed at Rayerbazar graveyard in Dhaka in July and August 2024 had still not been identified. [31]
Missing: Identification. They are part of this record as unnamed, not left out of it.
- Members of the security forces
The police reported 44 officers killed between 1 July and 15 August 2024, and the other forces their own dead; 15 officers were killed at Enayetpur police station in Sirajganj on 4 August, according to the police. [1]
Missing: Named records the archive has read. Their deaths are connected to July and will be recorded to the same standard as every other.
- Members of the Awami League
The Awami League gave the UN investigators a list of 144 officials and members killed in attacks between 1 July and 15 August 2024; the UN office could not verify it independently. [1]
Missing: Named records checked against independent sources.
Elsewhere in the archive
July’s human cost did not end with the dead. Thousands survived with injuries, many with consequences that last.
Injured & Survivors
- Crimes & Accountability
Investigations, trials and judgments over July, with each person’s legal status in each case, dated and sourced.
- Unresolved Justice
Deaths still unexplained and proceedings still open, each with the record that would close it.
- July Heroes
People whose documented part in July is widely recognised, some of whom are also in this register.
- Unsung Heroes
People whose part was substantial but less visible, among them journalists who are also in this register.
Sources and method
Each entry was compiled by Justice for Hadi from the UN fact-finding report, the records of press-freedom organisations and news reports, each read in full. Every numbered citation points to the publication that reports the fact. What a tribunal decided is cited to the reports of its judgment: the archive does not yet hold the court documents, so these entries are marked “Reported”, not “Court record”.
Every claim carries the project’s evidence word in text. “Reported” means published by the sources cited and not yet checked against a primary record. “Alleged” means a claim made by someone — a witness, the police, a party to a case — that has not been established, and names who made it. None of these records has yet been through the project’s formal verification process.
July archive reviewed through . A wrong spelling, date, place, photograph or identity in a memorial register is serious. To correct a record, report a duplicate, or propose a person with sources, see corrections; meaningful corrections are noted, not silently overwritten. For how the project works, see the research methodology.
How accountability is described
- No case on record
- No case, complaint or investigation over the death is reported in the sources read. It does not mean none exists.
- Case filed
- A complaint or case has been lodged with the police, a court or the tribunal’s prosecution; no charges are on record.
- Formal charges submitted
- The prosecution has put formal charges to a court; the court has not yet tried them.
- Trial ongoing
- A court has framed charges and is hearing the case.
- Convicted at first instance
- A trial court has given judgment. Appeals may follow; until a final decision, it is not the last word.
- Acquitted
- A court has found the accused not guilty.
- Unresolved
- The record does not show where accountability stands.

What is not on this page, and why
- An open register
- The register does not claim to be complete, and its size says nothing about how many died: the published counts are set out under Counting the dead, and none is adopted.
- Children
- No child is profiled. Where a court record names a person who may have been a child, the name is given as the record gives it, with no age, school, family or image.
- Families
- Family members are not named or quoted, even where the sources do. No addresses, telephone numbers, identity documents, financial circumstances or private messages are published. Where a family filed a case, the page says that a case was filed.
- How people died
- Deaths are stated in plain words. Wounds, medical detail and the condition of bodies are not described beyond what a court finding or the identification of the dead requires.
- Who is responsible
- The page states who said who fired, and what a court has decided, with dates. It calls no one a killer, murderer or criminal. People convicted or accused are named on Crimes & Accountability, with their legal status in each case.
- No photographs
- The archive does not hold a photograph of anyone in the register with a documented creator and permission to publish. None is shown, no placeholder is drawn in its place, and no illustration or AI-generated likeness is used.
- No search or filters yet
- While the register is small it is read in order. Search and filters by date, place, occupation and accountability will be added when the register is large enough to need them.
- Sources not used
- Encyclopedia entries, social-media posts, memorial graphics and reports that could not be read in full on the review date were used only as leads.

Injured & Survivors
The wounded and those who survived.
Crimes & Accountability
Investigations, trials and judgments, from allegation to judgment.
Unresolved Justice
Deaths still awaiting accountability, and proceedings still open.
