If I die, you will be martyr's parents, Hafez Redwan told parents | July Uprising
This news article from the Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) tells the story of Hafez Redwan Islam, a 24-year-old man from Rangpur, Bangladesh, who was killed on August 6, 2024, during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement that led to the overthrow of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. The article details Redwan's background as a poor, self-supporting Quran memorizer (Hafez) from a landless family in Gazipur, and recounts how he was shot four times by police in the Azampur area of Dhaka on August 5, 2024, while participating in a victory procession celebrating Hasina's removal. Despite being critically wounded, he received severely delayed medical treatment and died the following day. The piece covers his family's grief, his final conversations with his mother and wife, his funeral in his home village, and his father's subsequent legal case filed with the International Crimes Tribunal naming 48 individuals, including Sheikh Hasina, as responsible for his death.
