Two special documentaries on the July 2024 Mass Uprising, produced by the Government of Bangladesh, were screened. The programme concluded with special prayers seeking eternal peace for the souls of the martyrs of the Uprising.

In her address, Sadia Faizunnesa paid profound tribute to the martyrs of the July Mass Uprising, who sacrificed their lives during the movement against the autocratic government in July–August 2024. She recalled the invaluable contributions of the youth who led the movement and called upon everyone to uphold the spirit of the July Mass Uprising and remain committed to building a just, inclusive, and non-discriminatory society.
