Md. Monayel Ahmed

Shaheed Monayel Hossain Imran was born in a remote area. He came into this world on March 25, 2007, as the youngest child of his family in Kamalpur village of Lakhai, Habiganj. The Shaheed's father's name is Soyab Mia. He is a small businessman by profession, whose income supported a family of five. The family was well-organized thanks to his mother Yasmin Akter's care. Imran discovered himself as a very bright and talented child from a young age. He had a strong interest in religious matters, and as per his parents' wishes, he was admitted to a Hafizia Madrasa in his village. He successfully memorized every letter of the 30 paras of the Quran. He used to lead prayers in his local mosque with his melodious recitation. After completing his Hafizia studies, he was admitted to a secondary school in his area. Shaheed Imran had the opportunity to study up to the 8th grade. His dream remained unfulfilled due to a bullet wound before it could be realized.
How He Became a Shaheed
In the face of the anti-quota movement, the full bench of seven judges, led by the then Chief Justice Obaidul Hasan, overturned the previous quota system and ruled in favor of 93% merit and 7% quota. Despite the fulfillment of the demands, the general public across the country erupted in protests against the government's puppet forces' indiscriminate shooting and killings of students and people in recent days, demanding justice. Shaheed Imran actively participated in this protest at Narayanganj's Signboard. On July 21, during a nationwide curfew, he and his elder brother, Tofael Ahmed, took to the streets in the Signboard area with other friends to demand justice.
The tyrannical government's killer forces started firing indiscriminately at the innocent and unarmed students and people. At one point, the students' and people's protest intensified. Monayem was one of the leading students in that procession. At one point, Monayem was hit with four rubber bullets in the back and his elder brother Tofael was hit with four rubber bullets, causing them to fall to the ground. The paved road was stained with blood. The students and people participating in the movement took them to a local hospital in a rickshaw. But it was too late by then. Due to excessive bleeding, his body became lifeless. After being taken to the hospital, the doctor on duty declared him dead. As soon as they heard the news of his death, his family was devastated with grief. It was as if the sky had fallen on their heads. His elder brother is still undergoing treatment at PG Hospital.
Near Relatives' Feelings about the Shaheed
Md. Monayel Ahmed Imran's uncle, Md. Sirajul Islam, said, "Shaheed Monayem was an extremely talented and well-mannered boy. His heart was full of the 30 Juz of the Quran. He used to offer five daily prayers in the mosque. People from the village would follow him in prayer because of his sweet recitation of the Quran. Shaheed Imran was one of the most cheerful boys."
Details of Family's Financial Condition
Md. Monayel Ahmed Imran's family's financial condition is extremely weak. His father used to run a small business in Narayanganj, with the income from which the education of his four siblings was supported. There is no suitable house to live in at the village home. If the Shaheed's family could get a house to live in and financial assistance for his father, they might be able to live the rest of their days in a little solvency/ease. The Shaheed's father started a business with a small loan of Tk 80,000, which is still outstanding.
