Md. Al Amin

Shaheed Md. Al Amin was born on August 7, 2005, in Munshiganj district. His father is Ayub Khalifa (50) and his mother is Asia Begum (45). Leaving his father and sick mother in the village, he came to the capital, Dhaka city, in search of livelihood with his elder brother and cousin. The three of them took day labor jobs in various establishments and lived in a rented room together. They used to save some money from their monthly income and send it to their father and sick mother living in the village. Despite being an employee of someone else's shop, Shaheed Md. Al Amin became involved in the movement and struggled for the country's cause. At the very beginning of the movement, on July 19th, he was critically injured by the indiscriminate gunfire of the Awami League, Jubo League, Chhatra League, and police, and died instantly from a gun shot wound to the head.
Circumstances of Martyrdom
When Abu Saeed, a meritorious student of the English Department of Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur, was brutally murdered by being shot directly during the Bangla Blockade called by the anti-discrimination student leaders, the whole country erupted in protests. In this movement, the entire area including Dhaka University and the capital's Jatrabari, Mirpur, Badda, Rampura, and other areas turned into battlefields. This movement gained further momentum with the complete shutdown announced by the anti-discrimination student leaders on July 19th. Responding to the call of the anti-discrimination student movement leaders, like other areas of Dhaka, the general people of Sector 11 of Uttara, Dhaka also took to the streets with the students and expressed solidarity with the complete shutdown. In this situation, becoming desperate, along with the government's henchmen, the terrorists of the Awami League, Jubo League, and Chhatra League, unleashed by the killer Hasina, started attacking the student-public struggling in the anti-discrimination movement. Student-public fell to the ground one after another, injured by their reckless gunfire. At one point, Shaheed Al Amin fell to the ground with a bullet wound to the head. His elder brother, with the help of local people, took him to Bangladesh Medical College Hospital, where the doctor on duty declared him dead.
Special Information Regarding the Shaheed's Family
Bangladesh is a financially disadvantaged, poverty-stricken third-world country. Most of those who were Martyred in this movement, which is known as the second war of independence, are members of extremely poor families. Shaheed Md. Al Amin is no exception. The day laborer father has no homestead or agricultural land. They live in a house built on someone else's land. Due to poverty, he could not study much. To help the family, he engaged himself in day labor work as his father was sick. His mother is also sick and bedridden. The economic condition of Shaheed Al Amin's family is very poor. The sick parents are speechless after losing their only earning son. Although his two elder sisters, Hafiz Akhtar and Ruma Akhtar, are married, his other sister, Suma Akhtar, is still a student. This destitute family is in dire need of monthly financial assistance.
