Mahmud also urged the government to prepare an accurate list of the martyrs of July Revolution across the country as early as possible.
At the same time, he demanded state honour for the martyrs and economic compensation for their family members as quickly as possible.
Family members of the July Revolution martyrs were also present at the press conference.
