July Shaheed Smrity Foundation
July Shaheed Smrity Foundation (Bengali: জুলাই শহীদ স্মৃতি ফাউন্ডেশন, lit. 'July Martyrs Memorial Foundation') is an organisation founded in the memoirs of the deceased protesters of July massacre.[2][3] On 10 September 2024, Department of Social Services of the Government of Bangladesh approved the executive council of the organisation.[4] The structural function of the organisation is to provide immediate healthcare, financial assistance and long-term support to the families of those killed and injured in the massacre.[citation needed] HistoryThe interim government led by Muhammad Yunus took the initiative to establish a memorial foundation after taking responsibility to preserve the memory of those killed and to provide help to the families effected by the July massacre. On 10 September 2024, the organisation formed a seven-member executive council, appointing Muhammad Yunus as President and Mir Mahbubur Rahman Snigdho as General Secretary. Snigdho is the twin brother of Mir Mahfuzur Rahman Mugdho, who was killed during the quota reform movement.[5] Later Snigdho was elevated to Chief Executive (CEO) and Sarjis Alam, a key coordinator of Anti-discrimination Students Movement, was appointed as the general secretary.[1] See alsoReferences
