The listing of July martyrs was never meant to be just another bureaucratic formality.

Some 114 unidentified victims killed during the July uprising and buried at Rayerbazar Intellectuals’ Graveyard will be identified soon, said Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury yesterday morning.

The July fighters of the student-people uprising will get an allowance from next month, said Liberation War Affairs Adviser Faruk-e-Azam.

Last year, 17-year-old Nur Mostofa, like many of his peers, took to the streets, standing shoulder to shoulder with the masses to protest the killings of hundreds at the hands of law enforcers during the July uprising and to demand the resignation of then-prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
