Description of the Martyrdom Incident
Martyr Sabit Hossain was martyred on August 5, 2024, during a victory procession of the anti-discrimination student movement. The autocratic Hasina government turned the quota reform movement of the anti-discrimination student movement into a political movement. To suppress the students' logical and peaceful protest rally against the 56% illogical quota, the police and party goons were unleashed. A crackdown was carried out on students across the country. From July 15th, the situation in the country became such that being a student was a name of terror. No student could go out on the streets and markets with their own identity. Wherever any student or student was found, they were subjected to brutal attacks. They were arrested from their homes and given heinous false cases like murder cases. If they went out on the streets, the police and BGB indiscriminately shot and killed the students. Although it was a students' movement at first, after the 18th, it turned into a student-people's movement. Curfew was imposed to suppress the student-people's movement. Students and people were killed if they took to the streets during the curfew. The autocratic government tried to hide this from the world by shutting down mobile internet and broadband services. Gradually, the movement spread from the country to abroad as well. Expats from abroad stopped sending remittances. This is how the expats protested against Hasina's killing spree. Finally, on the 5th, Hasina was forced to resign and flee. After being freed from 15 years of misrule, all the freedom-loving students and people of the country took to the streets to celebrate the victory.
To participate in that victory celebration, Shaheed Sabid and some of his friends left their homes. They came near Uttara Azampur while marching in a victory procession from Tongi. There they saw police and Jubo League Awami League terrorists shooting at students and citizens. Unfortunately, Shaheed Sabid was hit in the head by a bullet. Shaheed Sabit was taken from there to Kuwait Bangladesh Friendship Government Hospital with the help of his friend Sagar and other friends. Shaheed Sabit died due to excessive bleeding. The doctor on duty at the hospital confirmed his death. His friend Sagar called Shaheed Sabid's father around 5 pm and informed him of his martyrdom, causing the whole family to break down in tears. Losing their only son, it was as if they were now destitute.
Economic Situation of the Shaheed's Family
The martyr's father works in agriculture, and his mother is a primary school teacher. They earn about 20,000 Taka per month. The martyr has only one sister who took the HSC exam in 2024. Although the parents are destitute after losing their child, they are somewhat financially self-sufficient.
Memory Description of the Shaheed's Relatives
A teacher at Renaissance Secondary School said, "People die in different ways. Some die on the righteous path, while fighting for the country. Our Shaheed Sabid was a very good boy, who embraced martyrdom for the country."
