The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs has revoked the gazette recognition of 105 people who were listed as July activists despite not being injured or involved in the anti-government movement that toppled the Awami League. In addition, 23 others were removed from the gazette for “duplication”, bringing the total number of cancellations to 128, the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. According to the ministry, the highest number of cancellations came from the Chattogram Division, with 39 names struck off the list. In February, the interim government published a gazette recognising 1,401 individuals as “July activists” injured during the Uprising. Among them, 493 were categorised as “A-class” -- those unable to live independently despite treatment -- while 908 were categorised as “B-class” for sustaining serious injuries that left them partially dependent on others.
