Md. Mozakkir Miah

Shaheed Mozakkir Miah was born in Lairar Hat village, which is in the Baniachong thana of Habiganj district, into a family that was exceedingly poor. Mozakkir Miah was born on April 20, 1990, to Samsher Ullah and Khush Banu Bibi. From birth, he had to contend with hardship. At an early age, Mozakkir Miah's father, Samsher Ullah, died. Shaheed Mozakkir Miah sincerely tried to stand on his own two feet after that. He didn't have many opportunities to study because of his poverty. But throughout his life, he made an effort to stay firm on the straight and narrow.

How He Became a Shaheed
Many people comment, "What was the need for ordinary students to join the movement? What movement is there for poor people? The struggle to have two square meals a day for the happiness of the family is the biggest movement." But can poverty, deprivation, or destitution hold back someone whose life's greatest dream is to walk the path of truth? Ignoring everything, he moves towards his desired destination. The henchmen of the oppressive government thought that by killing the students and people of Bengal, they would be able to unjustly survive forever in this Bangladesh, and no one would ever be able to raise their heads against them. The autocrat Sheikh Hasina thought that even if she left the country, the people of this country would not be able to live well. That every family in this country would be plunged into mourning. That is why Sheikh Hasina ordered her pet forces to kill the common students and people and the protestors without hesitation. But the common students and the general people of this country ignored that order of killing and took a firm oath not to leave the streets to save their country.
Mozakkir Miah, a day laborer, used to scurry around purchasing scrap metal in order to provide for his kids. He would occasionally look for scrap metal in front of the Baniachong police station and occasionally from one village to another. However, he was an honest man in spite of his poverty. In the morning of August 5, 2024, Shaheed Mozakkir said goodbye to his family. His spirit informed him that he will be listed among the Shaheeds. "You take care of my children if I become a Shaheed," he said to his cherished wife. We entrust Allah with all family responsibilities.
He participated in the anti-discrimination student movement procession in front of the Baniachong police station on August 5th at approximately 10:15 a.m. He led the parade from the very front. The police, the local Awami League, and the general people and students started a chase and counter-chase in front of the police station. They saw Mozakkir Miah, a notorious figure in their community, and Modhu Miah among them. He gave the order for Mozakkir Miah to be shot by the police. Members of the local Awami League and the Baniachong police opened fire on the parade without warning. Mozakkir Miah was the target of indiscriminate police firing. Four bullets in all struck Mozakkir Miah. A bullet struck his neck first, then his head, then his right half of his chest, and finally his right leg. Subsequently, he accepted martyrdom instantly on the spot.
Statements from Close Relatives and Friends about the Shaheed
Mozakkir Miah's distant uncle, Shahad Ali, said: "Mozakkir Miah was an extremely good man. He had good relations with his neighbors. He was a simple, straightforward, and unadulterated man. He was known as an honest businessman to the people of the village. He lived with his mother, wife, and children in a small house. He used to go from village to village collecting scrap metal and sell it in the market. He had no enemies. He did not belong to any party or group. The terrorist member Modhu was a very bad person. At his signal, the police shot and killed the poor, simple Mozakkir Miah."
