Jabir Ibrahim

"Even after visiting several hospitals,
we could not save Jabir."
"Mom, I will go to the movement"
Martyr child Jabir Ibrahim was born on Monday, May 19, 2018 in the West Mollartek area of Dakkshinkhan in Dhaka. His father, Kabir Hossain, works in a private mobile retailer company and his mother, Rokeya Begum, is a housewife. Mr. Kabir Hossain, the martyr's father, lives with his 4 family members in a flat inherited from his ancestors in West Mollartek. Among two brothers and a sister, martyr Jabir was the youngest. Jabir's elder sister, Jhumaina Kabir Neha, and elder brother, Juhaer Mahtab Abdullah, are both studying. Martyr Jabir was a meritorious student studying in the nursery of the English version of KC Model School and College. Child Jabir was of a calm nature, never cried for toys, but was especially skilled at making handicrafts and toys with discarded things at home. Jabir was an honest, devout and practicing child. He dreamed of becoming an army officer since childhood.
Description of the Incident of Martyrdom
From the very beginning of the anti-discrimination and quota reform movement, child Jabir was keen to participate in the movement, repeatedly saying, "Mom, I will go to the movement." From the beginning of the movement, the police and the autocratic government's goons continued to torture the protesting students indiscriminately. Jabir's family could not bear the deaths of the protesting students. Jabir's mother decided that everyone in the family would participate in the students' ‘long march’ program. After a while, they came to know that the autocratic ruler Sheikh Hasina had resigned and fled the country to India. Everyone took out a victory procession on the streets celebrating the fall of the autocratic government and the joy of enjoying second independence.
Jabir's mother did not want to take child Jabir with her initially. Later she compelled to take him due to his consistent desire for participating the procession on Jasim Uddin Road in Uttara. Informing about the victory procession, Jabir's mother also asked her husband by phone to come to Jasim Uddin for joining victory procession. Jabir's father also came there. At one point, when she wanted to go back home with Jabir, he insisted on staying for a while longer. Jabir's uncle, lawyer Nazmul Hossain, who was also present with the family members on that day to see the victory procession on Jasim Uddin Road, said, "On August 5, when the incident of besieging Uttara East Police Station took place in the afternoon, stones were thrown at the police. At one point, the police also started firing back."
Jabir's mother said that at 4:30, the police of the autocratic government's Uttara East Thana started firing at them from the gate of Sector 4 and Baitus Salam Madrasa towards the APBN office. Then Jabir's parents grabbed child Jabir's hand and ran forward. While running, Jabir fell on the road. His father was still holding Jabir's hand, he ran back and saw Jabir lying on the road in a bloody state. He was shot in the thigh; his pants and body were soaked in blood. Wounded Jabir was quickly taken to Kuwait-Maitri Hospital. The on-duty doctor asked for blood. Even after the blood was collected, due to lack of cross-matching, Shaheed Jabir finally took his last breath and accepted martyrdom at the age of just 6 years at Kuwait-Moitri Hospital on August 5, 2024, at 6:30 pm. Shaheed Jabir Ibrahim was buried in the graveyard adjacent to Sector 4.
The proud mother of the martyred child Jabir-
The proud mother of the martyr is heartbroken now as she lost her beloved piece of heart. She prays to Allah for paradise. Shaheed Jabir's mother said, "His father started running with the injured Jabir in his arms. Then I took Jabir in my arms. We visited several hospitals but could not save Jabir."
