About this archive

Why this archive exists

His speeches, interviews and writing are scattered across Facebook pages, YouTube, Telegram and the websites of news outlets. Quotes also circulate under his name without a source.

This archive gathers them in one place, so that anyone can hear and read him first-hand, learn about his life, and see where the case over the attack on him stands.

Every item has its own permanent address, a date and its sources, so that a journalist, a researcher or anyone else can check it and cite it.

How the archive writes

The archive’s own text says what happened, when, and how that is known. It does not campaign for any party or position, it does not praise or condemn anyone, and it does not rule on disputes.

His words stay his: in quotation marks, with the date and the occasion. What others have said or written about him stays under their names. Every item says whose words it carries: in his voice, about him, or testimony.

Nothing here is machine-translated. Where a text has no English version, the English page shows the Bengali, with a note saying so.

The four Marks

Every item published in the archive’s record carries one of four Marks. The Mark says how far the archive vouches for it, and the sources sit beside it, each with its date.

Confirmed

Two or more independent, reliable sources say the same thing. A reliable source is an established news outlet, an official record, or a publisher’s own record.

Single source

One reliable source says it.

Own channel

His own posts, or those of ইনকিলাব মঞ্চ, or their own compiled record. It stands for what they themselves say, and for nothing further. An archived copy of each is kept.

Testimony

A named person’s own account, published under their name. It is kept as their account, not as fact. The archive vouches only that they said it.

Material that cannot be given one of these four Marks is unverified, and is not published as part of the record.

The rules the archive keeps

• No footage or still image of the attack on him is kept here.
• A person accused in the case is named only as the charge sheet names them, as reported by a reliable news outlet or an official document. No accused person is named on the homepage.
• His wife is not named until a reliable source names her.
• Every item about the case and the trial carries an “as of” date: the day it was last brought up to date.
• His birth is given as the year only, 1993. Sources disagree on the day, and it will not be given until his family or a record confirms it.
• A slogan is attributed to him only when a recording or his own post shows him saying it. Otherwise it is attributed, with the date, to whoever is on record chanting or posting it.
• A private message or voice note is published only with the written consent of the person who sent it. A testimony with no public link waits until it is confirmed to be public, or its publication is consented to.
• Wikipedia is never cited as a source.
• Material that ইনকিলাব মঞ্চ itself marks as unverified, or that is found only in sources the archive has rejected, is not published as part of the record.

If something here is wrong

If you find a mistake in a fact, a date, a source or a translation, tell the archive. Give the link to the page where you saw it, say what is wrong, and, if you can, the source for what is right. Corrections are checked against the same standard as everything else.

Who commissioned it

This archive was commissioned by ইনকিলাব মঞ্চ, the platform he founded in August 2024. Its own posts and compiled records appear here under the Own channel Mark: they are kept as its own words, and as nothing more.
