At least 867 students, who were injured during protests led by the Student Movement Against Discrimination in July and August, are still undergoing treatment at 10 combined military hospitals.

At least 2,533 students were admitted to the 10 CMHs, an Inter Services Public Relations Directorate press release issued on Saturday said, adding that out of the admitted students now 867 are undergoing treatment at the hospitals.


The rest of the students returned home after treatment, the release said.

The interim government has yet to make a complete list of the people killed and injured during the student-led mass uprising in July and August that ousted the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League regime on August 5.

The health subcommittee of the Student Movement against Discrimination, the platform that spearheaded the uprising, has submitted a draft list of 1,612 deaths and over 30,000 injured victims to the government committee for finalisation. Various local and international non-governmental agencies also have come up with their own lists.
