Md. Yasin

Shaheed Md. Yasin was born on July 5, 2006, in Deula Barapata village, Borhan Uddin Upazila, which falls under the Bhola district. His father, Lal Mia, is a farmer, and his mother, Lilufa, is a housewife. Md. Yasin has a large family. His four elder brothers are married and work as day laborers and masons to support their families. On the other hand, his two sisters are married but financially insolvent, so Shaheed Yasin sometimes took on some of their responsibilities and covered their expenses. Despite having older brothers, they did not provide any assistance. His parents live in a small tin house. But they are elderly, making it very difficult for them to move around.
Shaheed Md. Yasin was a beloved child of his parents from a young age. He was very attentive to his studies from childhood. But due to family hardship, he could not continue his education much further. He studied with great difficulty up to the 8th grade. Later, forced by poverty to support his family, he started working as a mason in Dhaka.
Family Condition
With the money earned by Shaheed Yasin, his family and the lives of his two younger sisters were going reasonably well. He had married off his two younger sisters, but their in-laws had many demands, which Yasin fulfilled with some financial help. After the sisters' marriages, there were even greater demands from the in-laws, due to which the in-laws of his sister Misti did not take her to their home.
Background of the Movement
The 15 years of Awami misrule, vote-rigging, corruption, murder, injustice, and oppression had created a negative reaction in the public mind. The Awami government again began to conspire regarding the re-establishment of the quota system. In 2018, Sheikh Hasina accepted all the demands in the face of strong student protests, but in her heart, there was a volcano of hatred. Therefore, in 2024, after consolidating power in an election without opposition parties, the Hasina government again wanted to bring back the quota. A continuous movement began on July 1st for the reform of quotas in government jobs. This non-violent movement turned violent from July 15th. In the movement, armed killer Chhatra League, Jubo League, Shechashebok League, and police, RAB members began attacking unarmed students and the public. After the Martyrdom of Shaheed Abu Saeed in Rangpur, the movement turned into a mass movement. The quota reform movement gradually took the form of a public movement. It spread across the country as a movement of anti-discrimination students and the public. At the beginning, the non-violent movement of ordinary students gradually moved towards an anti-fascist government uprising. Gradually, this movement was not limited to just the students; it became a huge mass uprising of the country's general public. People of all castes, religions, and creeds expressed solidarity with this uprising and took to the streets. In the face of the angry public, the head of the autocratic government, Sheikh Hasina, was forced to resign on August 5th. But before resigning, she left behind countless evil deeds of her vile and distorted mind. As part of this, armed forces were unleashed on the protesters and many innocent people. Unarmed, oppressed people were was being martyred by their bullets.
