শহীদ লিজা আক্তার: ক্ষুধার্ত পেট গু লি ও খায় - জুলাই আর্কাইভ

This is a Bengali-language news article from the "July Archive" documenting the story of Liza Akter, a 19-year-old martyr from the 2024 Bangladesh uprising. It was published on November 17, 2024. The article recounts how Liza, a poor girl from Bhola district, moved to Dhaka to work as a domestic worker in Shantinagar to escape poverty. On July 18, 2024, during protests following the death of first martyr Abu Sayed, she was struck by a bullet in her abdomen while standing on a 7th-floor balcony watching the unrest below — despite having no involvement in the demonstrations. After four days of fighting for her life in hospital, Liza died on July 22, 2024. The article bitterly notes that while the ruling autocratic government mourned damage to infrastructure (such as the metro rail) that day, they made no mention of victims like Liza — a young woman who had come to Dhaka solely to feed herself and her family, only to be killed by a stray bullet.
