Md. Emon

Md. Emon, a resident of Bhola district, was born on February 11, 2010, in Sachia village of Ali Nagar Union in Bhola district. He lived in Dhaka for professional reasons. Father and son together took over the responsibility of the family. His father's name is Nantu (according to NID, but written as Md. Salauddin on the birth certificate) Emon's father is known by both names. One is his nickname, and the other is the name used in the documents. We have confirmed this by speaking directly with Emon's mother.
Emon's journey to martyrdom
Like every day, on July 20, Md. Emon went out on the streets with his rickshaw. An extremely tensed situation was prevailing on July 20 all over the country, including Dhaka. The month of July is a month of revolution in the history of Bangladesh. The Sheikh Hasina government made the people of the country fed up with vote rigging, corruption, and irregularities. People's right to speak was snatched away. Those who speak, their voices are silenced. The opposition is cornered by murder, torture, repression, disappearances, and lawsuits. There have been many movements before. Students woke up in the safe road movement. They were also vocal in the quota movement. The quota movement becomes active again. Students become vocal in quota reform.
To suppress every logical movement, the government uses the state forces along with their party cadre forces. The Awami goon forces brutally torture innocent people. In the July revolution too, a strict policy of suppression was applied. The students did not give up. The students continue their movement in support of their logical demands. The angry student community begins to unite in every hall of the university. The torture of Awami terrorists also increases. Students are beaten mercilessly on the streets. Until July 13/14, the movement was at a normal level. In the meantime, anyone who said anything was confined by giving them a planned tag.
The government was able to keep the true, logical movement confined under various tags. The same strategy was applied to the students' quota movement. When the students were vocal about their logical demands, Sheikh Hasina abused the students by calling them the children or grandchildren of Razakars. The student community burst out in an instant. The cradle of the movement, Dhaka University, became fiery. The fire that was burning faintly in the belly of the country became visible in the form of a volcano. Brave chests learned to shout. Private university students declared solidarity with public university students. The students of private universities, who were teased by being called boiler chickens, also played an unforgettable role in the July Revolution. The movement spread across the country. The movement spread to all levels. It has spread to all quarters. The words of Hasina were returned by the students in slogans. All the campuses echoed with slogans, "Who are you? Who am I? Razakar, Razakar, who said, who said? Autocrat! Autocrat!"
The agitating students were hurt by the Awami pet forces. Even the female students were cruelly tortured by them. Teachers and members of other professional communities supported the youngsters while parents descended onto the streets. RAB fired, and the government's police fired. Jubo League was sacked. Bodies were still on the streets, one after another.
The government issued a curfew to suppress the movement. BGB, police on alert guard. The protesters also took a life-threatening stance on the streets. The country is heated. The streets are heated. Md. Emon is a rickshaw puller. His father is also a rickshaw puller. He could not care about the obstacles as he had no other mean but going outside home for managing food for the family.
On July 20, the situation was tense. Emon took to the streets with his rickshaw for the sake of livelihood. In the previous two days, the autocratic Hasina's police and Jubo League killed countless people. On this day, the student public continued the movement, sacrificing the fear of life. Emon keeps his rickshaw active in his life struggle. He comes to Badda Tetultala with his rickshaw. The rally is attacked without warning. The police start firing countless bullets. It was 3.30 pm on 20th July. He became martyr instantly. He was buried on the following day, 21st July at 9 in the morning after the funeral in his native village under Bhola district.
Feelings of close relatives and neighbors
His brother Rajib said, Emon was a very good man. He never got involved in any kind of argument with anyone. He followed his parents' words. My brother is a working man. We are poor people. Who shall we seek justice from? I want justice for my brother's murder. Neighbor Arjat Mia said that he never saw Emon quarrel with anyone. He was very simple and straightforward. A young boy. At this age, he was responsible to his family. We are saddened by his death.
Proposals
The family is basically poor. They can be given a large one-time grant. Accommodation can be arranged for them. His father also needs financial support to initiate a new business.
