How Riaz Was Martyred
The anti-discrimination student movement's quota reform movement began. Students peacefully carried out their programs until the 15th. The illegal Hasina government falsely labeled the general students and the public as Razakars. In protest, students across the country demonstrated. On July 16th, the movement gained momentum at Dhaka University. There, the Chhatra League's terrorist militant force attacked the students with weapons. Many female students were also brutally assaulted. After that, the Awami government launched a crackdown across the country through the police administration. Students were picked up from their homes and falsely accused. Even after that, from the 18th, the Awami broker administration force started firing indiscriminately on the students and the public. Then the movement gradually spread to remote areas. Numerous students have already been killed. On the fourth, all the coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement announced the March for Dhaka program. Shaheed Riaz participated in this program.
He left his house around one o'clock in the afternoon. His cousin was with him. When they reached Jatrabari, the autocratic Sheikh Hasina government's henchmen police force started firing indiscriminately on the students and the public in the long march. Along with everyone else, Shaheed Riaz also moved forward to resist. The police shot at him. The bullet directly hit his head. The police were firing intermittently from a convenient location there. That's why he could not be rescued. When it started raining, the police left. Shaheed Riaz's cousins started searching for him. After searching for a long time, they found Shaheed Riaz's lifeless body in front of gate number 3 of Jatrabari police station. Then, when he was taken to Dhaka Medical, the doctor said that he had died a long time ago.
