Nahid Islam, convener of the National Citizen Party, has urged the implementation of the verdict in the Abu Sayed killing case and called for state reforms aligned with the outcome of the July referendum. Speaking at Abu Sayed's grave in Pirganj, Rangpur, Islam paid tribute to the student, whom he described as "the foremost" among those killed during the July revolution. He stated that Abu Sayed's death on July 16, 2024, marked a critical turning point, transforming the student-public movement into a mass uprising. Islam also remembered the approximately 1,400 people killed and nearly 30,000 injured during the movement, emphasizing the need for a discrimination-free and justice-based state to honor their sacrifices. He noted that while the trial court has delivered its verdict in the Abu Sayed murder case, its implementation is pending due to an ongoing appeal. Islam identified Sheikh Hasina as the principal accused in the case, who he stated was sentenced to death by the court, and expressed hope for her return to the country and the verdict's execution. Regarding state reform, Islam highlighted justice, reform, and elections as the primary demands following the July uprising. He alleged that the government has failed to implement the referendum's outcome or progress on the promised July Charter, despite public support for reform.
