On the first anniversary of the student-led mass revolt, the European Union honored the people of Bangladesh today, recognizing their sacrifice and tenacity in the fight for a fair and democratic future.
“One year ago, Bangladeshis from all walks of life took to the streets to stand up for their rights and demand a more just and democratic future,” the EU said in a statement posted on its official Facebook site.
“Today, we honour their courage and resilience, remember those who lost their lives, and reaffirm our support for the survivors still recovering from their injuries,” it added.
The EU also reiterated its call for inclusive and constructive political engagement, stating, “The EU calls on all parties to engage in peaceful and constructive dialogue to embed key governance and human rights reforms ahead of the next parliamentary elections.”
“Bangladesh can count on the EU’s support as it moves ahead with its democratic process,” the statement said, restating its commitment to the country’s democratic path.
Under Bangladesh’s current interim government, the EU’s comments are interpreted as a reaffirmation of ongoing international support for inclusive governance and democratic reforms.
