Timeline of Student–People's uprising

Student–People's uprising was a pro-democratic mass uprising against the Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh. The movement started as a quota reform movement soon after the High Court Division of the Supreme Court declared the circular issued by the government in 2018 invalid on 5 June 2024. But the government law-enforcing agencies and the ruling party members carried out massive suppression and mass killing of the protesters, known as the July massacre. The movement then turned into a fully-fledged mass uprising, ultimately ousting Sheikh Hasina on 5 August 2024.
