Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 47700, member: 636"] People hurt during last year's protests surrounded the chief adviser's home on Monday. They wanted the government to release the July Declaration right away. This document would give constitutional recognition to their uprising against fascism. The group maintained their position for six hours before leaving at 7:45pm when police asked them to go. The demonstrators gathered near Arunoday Gate at Ramna Park around 2:30pm. They showed frustration because the government had not issued the July Declaration. Officials had promised to release the document within 30 working days. That deadline had already passed without any action from authorities. Abdullah Al Mamun from Dhaka Metropolitan Police confirmed that injured activists took positions near the gate around 3:00pm. The protesters wanted to march toward the chief adviser's residence. Police officers blocked their path before they could reach the building. Deputy Commissioner Masud Alam explained that law enforcement had prepared for the demonstration. Baki Billah spoke for the injured activists during the sit-in protest. He said the government had received enough time to act on their demands. Previous promises at the Shaheed Minar had not been kept. The protesters refused to accept any compromise about the July Declaration. The activists compared their situation to other countries where revolutions received formal recognition within one month. They argued that the 2024 uprising still lacked constitutional acknowledgment. Without proper recognition, they feared people would forget about their revolution and its importance. [/QUOTE]
