The central coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement have announced a 'Martyrdom March' to honor the victims of violence during their ongoing protests, which began with demands for quota reform in government jobs and culminated in the fall of the Awami League government. The march will also mark the one-month anniversary of the government's collapse.

The event is scheduled for Thursday (September 5) under the banner of the anti-discrimination student movement, starting at 3 PM from Raju Bhaskarya at Dhaka University.

Sarjis Alam, one of the movement's coordinators, made the announcement during a press conference at Dhaka University on Wednesday (September 4), alongside other coordinators such as Hasnat Abdullah and Abu Bakr Majumdar. The press conference aimed to outline the movement’s next steps.

The coordinators urged the families of those martyred in the July and August protests to join the march. The march will proceed from Raju Bhaskarya to the Central Shaheed Minar, passing through Newmarket, Manik Mia Avenue, Karwan Bazar, and Shahbagh.


Abu Bakr Majumdar, another coordinator, emphasized the movement’s commitment to national security and the rule of law, stating that justice for the murders will be pursued through legal channels. He also announced that the movement is forming a team to identify those responsible for the violence, with a vision of reshaping Bangladesh according to the will of the people. The movement aims to reorganize nationwide, focusing on combating extortion and corruption.
