Md. Kamal Hossain,

Kamal Hossain (38), nicknamed Sabuj, was a freedom-loving Shaheed of the 24th. His home was in the village of Balakdia, Binaykati Union, Jhalakathi Sadar Upazila. His father was Mr. Mansur Hawladar (70), and his mother was the late Mahmuda Begum. He was their only child. This valiant hero was a driver for the private television channel Channel I. After reaching adulthood, he married Sadia Begum Rani (32) to end his solitary life. One by one, three children were born, illuminating the couple's home. The sons are Samiul Islam (13) and Abdullah (5). The only daughter is Ishtiaq Jahan (3). Despite being a middle-class family, the Shaheed was steadfast in fulfilling his responsibilities.
Even with financial difficulties, he moved his family from the countryside to a rented house in Jhalakathi city with honesty and hard work. He dreamed that his children would one day become successful and take care of the family. Despite feeling physically ill due to working day and night, he could not be stopped. As the sole breadwinner of the family, he was the only hope. To restore the country's independence, he sacrificed his life without thinking about his family and became immortal in history, securing a place for himself.
How were the days of fighting the killers?
Through a long anti-fascist struggle, the mass uprising of July-August 2024 took place. As a result, a new possibility has begun. This movement has set a direction for how Bangladesh will run in the future. The expression of public aspiration has also been reflected in this direction. The general public united and launched a vigorous movement. Everyone became vocal with the aim of establishing justice. The autocratic rule of Sheikh Hasina was overthrown. The only reason for the movement was so that the people of the country could get justice. The independent consciousness of public opinion is established. The people of the country declared solidarity to ensure full freedom without influence. At the same time, the media should not be intimidated or controlled by the rulers, the full freedom of the media should be maintained, the balance of power should be maintained, and the citizens of all religions and creeds should get back their rights! July 2024 is a critical time for the anti-discrimination student movement.
Students and the public across the country were furious against government jobs. The anti-discrimination student movement group called for a simultaneous movement from the Dhaka University campus. The fascist Hasina government used all its might to suppress the movement. On July 16, Abu Saeed, a 12th batch student of the English Department of Begum Rokeya University, was being martyred by the killer police at gate number 1 of the university. The law-breaking, extreme enemy of the country, the autocratic, murderous, cannibal Hasina's ferocious police force opened fire on the students with a smile on their faces. As a result, students and the public across the country launched an unstoppable movement. The henchmen of the autocrat announced the closure of the universities and ordered the students to leave the halls. That day, Bangladesh witnessed an unprecedented event. Even after tying the hands and feet of the students of the autonomous university, the movement did not stop. The movement moved forward at an upward speed. Students of private universities stood as a shield to prolong the movement. It was as if they had voluntarily taken the burden of leadership of the struggle on their shoulders that day. The movement regained momentum. Ignoring the government's threats, the general public of the anti-discrimination student movement became active in the field. They implemented various programs ignoring fear.
How he was being martyred
Saturday, July 20, 2024, nine o'clock in the morning. Kamal Hossain Sabuj went out to have breakfast in the Shahjadpur area of Badda, the capital. The intention was to return to work after breakfast. After seeing various news on newspapers and social media, he expressed a strong desire to join the movement. However, as a driver by profession, he could not find time. Suddenly, while having breakfast, a bullet from the killer police hit his forehead. In an instant, Kamal's head burst open and his brain came out. Passers-by tried to rush him to the hospital. The henchmen of the autocrat created barrier from being taken him to the hospital. Hospital staff expressed their inability to provide treatment due to fear. Shaheed Kamal Hossain Sabuj gradually succumbed to death due to lack of treatment. The Shaheed's body was buried the next day, Sunday, July 21, in the Agarbari area of Jhalakathi Sadar Upazila, at his in-laws' house.

Family Opinion
Shaheed's wife Sadia Begum Rani (32) said, "These three children have now become orphans! Where will I stand with them, who will take care of them now? There is no one left to run the household. I can't figure out how the rest of the days will go."
Mr. Ripon said, "My nephews and nieces have become fatherless. My sister became a widow at a young age. I can't bear their crying anymore. I want justice for this."
Economic Condition of the Shaheed's Family
