Md. Emon

Shaheed Emon was born on January 12, 2003, in Nalin village, Gopalpur thana, Nalin Bazar Union, Tangail district. Among three brothers and one sister, Shaheed Emon was the eldest. When he was only 12 years old, his father, Md. Julhas Mia, passed away. As a result, Emon's mother became helpless with four children and took shelter in her maternal grandfather's house. Emon's mother worked as a domestic helper in other people's houses and somehow managed to live with her four children with the help of her grandfather. Having lost his father at a very young age and facing the hardships of poverty, Emon continued his studies with great difficulty. While studying in the first year of honors at Hemnagar Private College, he tutored to cover his own educational expenses as well as to help with some family expenses.
Background of Martyrdom
On August 4, a nationwide general non-cooperation movement was called in protest of the tyrannical Hasina government's unjust use of force against students in the anti-discrimination student movement. As part of the program, Shaheed Emon, along with the leaders and activists of the anti-discrimination student movement and the general public, took position at the Mirzapur bus stand. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the police indiscriminately opened fire on the program.
A bullet hit Shaheed Emon's right thigh. Shaheed Emon immediately fell to the ground due to the impact of the bullet. Some brothers participating in the movement, along with Shaheed Emon, were on their way to Mirzapur Sadar Hospital when the police stopped them and snatched Shaheed Emon and beat him mercilessly. The police, accomplices of the autocracy, poked and prodded the bullet wound with the barrel of their guns. Although Emon repeatedly cried out to the police for water, the police did not give him a single drop of water. After much effort, the local people rescued him from the police and brought him to Mirzapur Sadar Hospital. The on-duty doctor hesitated to admit him to the hospital and at one point advised taking the seriously injured Emon to Dhaka Medical College Hospital without admitting him.
After much effort, family members admitted Shaheed Emon to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in a critical condition by ambulance. After being under treatment for a long 14 days from August 4 to August 18, Shaheed Emon passed away on August 18 at five o'clock in the morning and went to the presence of the Almighty Lord.
