Amzad Hossain

Amzad Hossain was a 3rd-year honors student in the Zoology group at Shibpur Asad College. He was born on December 9, 2001, in Rampura village, Narsingdi district. His father's name is Arman, and he is a farmer by profession. His mother's name is Mosa. Delowara, and she is a housewife. Amzad Hossain used to live at his grandmother's house. Although his home is in Palash Police Station, he studied in Shibpur Police Station. This is because Shibpur Police Station is closer to the village and has more educational institutions. He had big dreams in life to get a good job and solve the economic problems of his family. For this, Shaheed Amzad studied in the science department in SSC and HSC. Later, he also studied zoology in honors. He was a well-organized and cultured person in all aspects. He used to pay for his education by tutoring. Although he was a third-year honors student in zoology at Shibpur Government Shaheed Asad College, he was looking for a small job due to the family's economic problems. But the fascist Sheikh Hasina's Awami League government secretly banned ordinary citizens of Bangladesh from government jobs, except for freedom fighters and Awami League members. Therefore, Amzad Hossain joined the anti-discrimination student movement to eliminate this discrimination. Finally, on July 19, 2024, he was Martyred by the bullets of Itakhola outpost police.
The Incident of Martyrdom
Amzad left home saying he would go to the playground. Before leaving, he told his mother, "Mom, I'm a little hungry, please cook some noodles." His mother cooked noodles for him. But who knew that these noodles cooked by Shaheed Amzad's mother would be his last meal! His mother thought that her son would return home in the evening as usual after playing. Her son returned home a little late. This was because, after being Martyred while participating in the anti-discrimination student movement, his return home was delayed due to various paperwork issues at the hospital. Her son did return to his mother, but with a great certificate, which was the status of martyrdom. Amzad Hossain participated in the movement to overthrow the autocracy with his student friends on July 19 at approximately 4:00 PM. The students and the public marched towards Itakhola outpost. Amzad Hossain was at the front of the procession. He was chanting slogans in this student procession, expressing his heart's emotions and feelings. It was as if all the students and the public behind him were gaining a hundredfold strength in their hearts from the power of Amjad Hossain's slogans.
But at the behest of the autocratic Awami government chief Sheikh Hasina, some of her pet terrorists in the name of police and local Awami League goons and killers prepared to fire indiscriminately at the procession. First, there was a chase and counter-chase. Suddenly, the police and terrorist Awami League began to use their maximum force. The rubber bullets and live ammunition, bought with the hard-earned money of the common people, which pays the police salaries, were fired at the ordinary students and the public. Shortly after, seeing the fearless hero Amjad chanting slogans at the front, the police fired at him. A bullet hit him in the head. He immediately fell to the ground. From the scene, the students and the public took him to Narsingdi Sadar Hospital, where the doctor declared him dead. The time was 8:30 PM.
The history of the conflict between truth and falsehood has existed since the beginning of the world. The fearless warriors, the beloved soldiers of Allah, have been striving tirelessly for ages to uphold the eternal truth. On the other hand, those known as the bearers of falsehood, who feel the truth piercing their hearts like an arrow, have always tried to suppress this eternal truth. The history of Bangladesh testifies that there have been repeated attempts to destroy justice and fairness. The Awami League terrorist organization was born against the truth. Therefore, they have repeatedly tried to eliminate those who want to walk the path of truth by imprisoning, torturing, killing, disappearing, and hanging them. But in the history of the world, no dictator has been able to suppress the people on the path of justice and fairness despite all their efforts and oppression. Illegal Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina also failed.
Comment from his friend named Raihan
I have had a long friendship of 8 years with Shaheed Amzad. He was a polite, gentle, and humble person. He used to pray regularly. His behavior impressed us. He was as good at sports as he was at studies. He was helpful and sociable. Amzad has been playing an active role in this movement from the beginning. I demand appropriate punishment for the killers of my friend and expect exemplary punishment for everyone involved in the murder, including the instigators.
Comment from elder brother Akram Hossain
Amzad was the dream of our family. He was talented, so we dreamed about him. We don't have any land of our own. That's why we have been living at our grandmother's house since childhood. We thought Amzad would get a big job when he grew up and would solve all our problems. Wherever he went to play, he played better than everyone else. He had brought prizes from the college sports competition. The day before going to the movement, he consulted with me about what we ordinary students could do now. I said, "Do what is right. But since we are poor, don't do anything that will bring harm to us." He joined the anti-discrimination student-public movement wholeheartedly.
Shaheed Amjad Hossain's Educational Life
Although born into a poor family, Shaheed Amzad Hossain had been studying very well since childhood, struggling with poverty to get a higher education. He studied in Shibpur town from primary school to college. He passed every class with distinction. Despite being a child from a poor family, his place in the class was always at the front, leaving behind many children from wealthy families. He passed SSC and HSC examinations with good results in the science department. Finally, he was studying in the third year of honors in zoology at Shibpur Government Shaheed Asad College.
Family Status
They have no land or house of their own. They are economically insolvent. His father works as a farmer. His elder brother Akram Hossain is unemployed and stays at home. They have been living at their grandmother's house since childhood. They have a younger brother who studies in the ninth grade. It is very difficult to continue his education in the current situation.
