The Moonsoon Revolution Archive is a digital repository led by the Tech Global Institute, and dedicated to the recollection, preservation, and investigation of human rights violations during the mass uprising in Bangladesh in July 2024. The uprising led to the ouster of the Awami League led dictatorship. The Archive uses open-source investigations, digital forensics, and eyewitness accounts to reconstruct events with the aim of advancing truth, justice and accountability in Bangladesh. Together with International Truth and Justice Project, the archive has led to the production of two investigative films, and a joint report on mass killings that took place on July 19.
The Monsoon Revolution Archive serves as a public memorial to victims and survivors, and a tool of political resistance for researchers, journalists, human rights defenders and courts in their pursuit of justice and democracy.
The Monsoon Revolution Archive is a vital digital repository preserving evidence of atrocities committed during the July Uprising in Bangladesh. As digital platforms and online spaces increasingly remove content deemed violent or irrelevant—often erasing critical documentation—this archive ensures that key evidence is not lost to moderation, neglect or information revisionism. In a time when public memory fades quickly and narratives are easily manipulated, the archive safeguards digital traces of human rights violations to support future legal action, honor victims and survivors, and build a historical record that resists denial, distortion, and erasure.
The Monsoon Revolution Archive, a project of Tech Global Institute launched in 2024, documents and preserves evidence of human rights violations committed during Bangladesh's July Uprising. Rooted in the belief that archiving is essential to justice, the project challenges the dominance of Global North institutions by building legal and sociotechnical capacities in the Global Majority. We focus on state-sanctioned abuses—especially by security forces using open-source war crimes and human rights documentation, and work with partners to advance democratic reform and transitional justice efforts in Bangladesh and beyond.
