A charity concert titled Echoes of Revolution is being organized by a group of students from Dhaka University (DU) and other institutions through the Spirits of July platform, in support of the families of martyrs and injured individuals from the July-August student movement.
The concert will feature renowned Pakistani artist Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who will perform free of charge.
The organizers have announced that all proceeds from the concert will be donated to the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation, a welfare organization working for the martyrs and injured.
