History
The interim government led by Muhammad Yunus took the initiative to establish a memorial foundation after taking responsibility to preserve the memory of those killed and to provide help to the families effected by the July massacre. On 10 September 2024, the organisation formed a seven-member executive council, appointing Muhammad Yunus as President and Mir Mahbubur Rahman Snigdho as General Secretary. Snigdho is the twin brother of Mir Mahfuzur Rahman Mugdho, who was killed during the quota reform movement.[5] Later Snigdho was elevated to Chief Executive (CEO) and Sarjis Alam, a key coordinator of Anti-discrimination Students Movement, was appointed as the general secretary.[1]
