The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs has removed the names of 12 individuals from the official gazette listing them as ‘July fighters’, participants in the July 2024 mass uprising, after it was found that false information had been submitted.
A ministry notification, later published as a gazette, confirmed the cancellations under Section 11(4) of the July Uprising Martyrs' Families and July Fighters Welfare and Rehabilitation Ordinance, 2025, and Schedule-1 of the Rules of Business, 1996.
Five of the cancelled individuals are from Dinajpur district, Rangpur division: Tasfiyah Rifa, Md Asaduzzaman Nur, Md Suruj Mia, Mosha Kohinur, and Mosha Sakhina.
Seven are from Chandpur district, Chittagong division: Md Kamrul Hasan Rabbi, Md Raihan, Md Yushub Ali, Nahidul Islam Ratul, Shahjalal, and Md Abdullah Al Mamun.
The notification includes each person’s gazette number, medical case ID, father’s name, and permanent address. The ministry stated that the names were removed due to submission of false information.
Earlier, on October 29 last year, the ministry had cancelled the gazettes of 128 July fighters for similar reasons, including duplicate listings.
