This briefing paper presents the perspectives of survivors of torture and other serious human rights violations during Bangladesh’s July/August 2024 uprising. It examines their experiences, priorities, and barriers related to justice, accountability, and reparation, to inform survivor‑centred reparation initiatives aligned with international human rights standards. The information in this briefing is based on 2025 interviews with 80 survivors conducted by the Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST) using UN-based tools adapted to Bangladesh. The interviews documented violations suffered, survivor profiles, justice priorities, and expectations of reparation.
