Bangladesh, 1975 — military coup

Sources agree on the core sequence (Mosharraf's 3 Nov coup, arrest of Zia, 6 Nov swearing-in of Sayem as president, 7 Nov mutiny killing Mosharraf and freeing Zia, Taher's later execution), but framing varies: some accounts (e.g., Wikipedia's article on the event, citing Mascarenhas 1986 and Lifschultz 1979, neither of which I could access directly this session) describe it more as a mass 'sepoy-janata' (soldiers-and-people) uprising with roughly 43 officers killed and dozens of JSD/BSS members later detained, while Bangladeshi news retrospectives emphasize either Mosharraf's or Taher's side sympathetically depending on outlet/author (one Daily Star op-ed is authored by Mosharraf's daughter). I did not verify the ~43 officer death toll or detention figures independently, so they are omitted from the facts list. Nominal head of state at the moment of the coup was President A.S.M. Sayem, but the person actually ousted and killed was Khaled Mosharraf as the military's de facto strongman; I identified him as target_leader on that basis since the Cline Center coup-event framing centers on the ousted power-holder, not the nominal civilian president. Wikipedia's main article on the '7 November 1975 Bangladeshi coup d'état' was fetched successfully on a later attempt (after an earlier cache-only error) and named its underlying sources as Mascarenhas (1986) and Lifschultz (1979); I have not listed CHAIN facts from it separately because all facts I used were independently corroborated by directly-fetched primary journalistic/institutional sources (Dhaka Tribune, The Daily Star, Khaled Mosharraf Trust, Britannica). | All 8 VERIFIED facts were re-fetched directly from their source_urls and each quote was confirmed present and accurately representing the page content — no dead links, no fabricated quotes. No CHAIN-labeled facts existed to check (Wikipedia is mentioned only in the researcher's own notes as unverified background, and was appropriately excluded from the sourced facts list, which is honest practice). Two issues were found and corrected: (1) the target_leader value asserted Mosharraf was 'de facto head of Bangladesh's military government,' which is unsupported by all three cited sources and is directly contradicted by the Dhaka Tribune article (which states he never intended to form a government and that Sayem became president instead) — downgraded to the supported 'Chief of Army Staff' framing. (2) The summary (and key_figures list, which the schema here has no field for but should also be corrected) included 'Biplobi Sainik Sangstha (BSS)' as part of the organizing group, plus 'house arrest' for Zia's detention and a claim that Zia would go on to 'dominate Bangladeshi politics, eventually becoming president' — none of these have a corresponding sourced fact in the entry (BSS and the presidency claim are only mentioned in the researcher's own notes as unverified Wikipedia content); these were trimmed from the corrected summary. Wikipedia itself was inaccessible in this session (cache-only/blocked), so I could not independently confirm the researcher's claim about Mascarenhas/Lifschultz citations, but since no facts were sourced to Wikipedia this does not affect the verdict.
