Md. Anas Miah

Shaheed Anas was born on August 25, 2004, in the village Khondkar Mahalla of Baniyachong Thana in the district of Habiganj. His father's name is Abul Hossain and his mother's name is Khairunnessa. Coming from a middle-class family, Anas was studying in the ninth grade. Among his seven siblings, he was the youngest.
How He Became a Shaheed
The July 1st-launched student-public anti-discrimination movement was on the brink of success on August 5th, 2024. The public and students demonstrated directly in front of the army in a number of videos that have been making the rounds on social media since the Fourth of July, but the army refrained from attacking them. Rather, they fired blanks to halt the police and the terrorist troops of the Chhatra League from attacking the students and the public. Extreme self-confidence infused throughout the entire nation. Since the army no longer supported the administration, rumors started to circulate that it was about to collapse.
A plan to besiege the Prime Minister's residence, the Ganabhaban, was revealed by the anti-discrimination student movement. Several movement supporters proposed that the Ganabhaban siege be held on the 5th for better strategic reasons, even though it was originally planned for the 6th. The announcement came, "Not the day after tomorrow, but tomorrow!"
From Baniachong, there was no means to go to Ganabhaban. Public transportation had been disconnected by the autocratic regime. Thus, Anas made the decision to demonstrate in front of the Baniachong police station with his fellow protesters. Leading the procession from the front was Anas.
The ruthless police force, fostered by the oppressive government, had yet to cease its bloodlust. Armed with their firearms, they emerged from the police station hungry for blood. They were joined by the dictator's collaborators.
Anas and others tried to put up a valiant resistance. Suddenly a bullet came and hit Anas's stomach. He fell to the ground. Anas's cousin Russell and several other protesters immediately took Anas to Habiganj Sadar Hospital. An operation was performed to remove the bullet from his stomach. Due to the bullet wound and the operation, there was excessive blood loss, and 8 bags of blood were transfused. The operation lasted a long time. After the operation, the effectiveness of the anesthesia wore off after some time. Anas became unconscious towards the end of the night while writhing in severe pain. Then he never regained consciousness and was martyred.
Funeral Prayer (Janazah):
On August 6th, after Esha prayers, Shaheed Anas's Janazah was held at Rajbari ground. Then he was buried in the family cemetery.
Family Condition
Anas was from a middle-class family. All the siblings are reasonably well-established. While his father was alive, he built a half- wall house. But his brothers were trying to send Anas abroad to establish him. He was also supposed to go to Italy towards the end of August. For this, they had to take a loan of 5 lakh taka. That loan is still unpaid.
Need for Assistance
Financial assistance is needed to repay the loan.
