DHAKA, Jan 15, 2026 (BSS) - The government today gave final approval to the draft of the 'July Mass Uprising Protection and Liability Determination Ordinance 2026' granting indemnity to the participants in the 2024 July Uprising. By political resistance, the law adviser said, the ordinance means activities carried out with the objective of restoring democratic governance through the fall of the fascist government. "And from now on, no new cases can be filed against them for actions carried out during July and August as part of organised political resistance," he added. About the formation of the Human Rights Commission, Prof Asif Nazrul said the commission would be formed by January 31, noting that the selection committee has already held its first meeting. He expressed confidence that Bangladesh will soon have the strongest, most powerful, and most effective Human Rights Commission in its history.
