Md.Shahadat Hossain Shawon

Shahid Shahadat Hossain Shawon was the youngest son of Md. Bachir Alam and Samsun Nahar Begum, residents of the West Dholaipar area of Dhaka. He was a second-grade student at Nure Madina Al Arabia Madrasa. He was studying in the Nazera class in preparation for becoming a Hafiz of the Quran.
Shawon's father says, "My son Shawon was very good at his studies. I have five children. Among four sons and one daughter, only Shawon was continuing his education."
Recalling his son's memory, the emotionally overwhelmed father says while crying, "Shawon had a dream of joining the Bangladesh Army. We hoped that our fortunes would change through him."
How He Became a Martyr
On August 5th, people took to the streets in unrestrained joy demanding Hasina's resignation. Victory processions were held across the country. However, Hasina's defeated forces carried out barbarity in various parts of the country. On August 5th, indiscriminate shooting took place in various places during the victory procession. Many people were killed in Uttara Azampur BNS Center, Savar police station, and Ashulia. The police in Jatrabari carried out a horrific massacre on this day. They kept killing people by shooting them like birds.
On August 5th, at around 2 o'clock, millions of people surrounded Hasina's Ganobhaban. Hasina had already fled. Bachir Alam joined the victory procession. His son, Shahadat Hossain Shawon, was with him. The procession reached Jatrabari. As soon as they reached Jatrabari, they came under police fire. Countless lives were lost in Jatrabari due to police brutality. Shahadat Hossain Shawon was martyred. Besides Shawon, many people were killed by the Jatrabari police force. As soon as Shawon's procession reached in front of the Jatrabari police station, the police started firing. The time was then 2:30 PM. Shawon fell down after being hit by a bullet. Many others were also shot. Jatrabari was a place of death that day. Later, the family members brought the body from there. He was taken to his village home and buried in his village.
Family Condition
Shahadat Hossain Shawon's family is very insolvent. A lower-middle-class family. His father is a small businessman. He barely manages his family by selling Halim and Fuchka on the sidewalk. Running a family of 7 is very difficult. Shawon used to spend time with his father in business. They used to live in a cramped rented house in Dhaka. They are in mental anguish after losing the youngest member of the family. Shawon's mother repeatedly faints in grief. The father is unable to concentrate on his work. In a happy family amidst sorrow and poverty, the grief of losing his son doubled the sorrow.
Feelings
Shawon's brother Hanif says that Shawon, at a young age, developed a habit of mingling with everyone. He was a very good boy. He never spoke harshly to anyone.
Javed, a neighbor, says that Shawon was a very good boy. Polite, gentle, and quiet. We are heartbroken by his death.
