শহীদ তাহমিদ ভূঁইয়া তামিম: “মা, মরলে শহীদ হবো” - জুলাই আর্কাইভ

This Bengali-language news article from the "July Archive" project memorializes Tahmid Bhuiyan Tamim, a 15-year-old ninth-grade student from Narsingdi, Bangladesh, who was killed on July 18, 2024, during the quota reform protest movement. The article recounts how Tahmid secretly left his home to join a protest march at the Jelkhana intersection, carrying a flag and chanting slogans, before being shot by police. It describes the particularly harrowing detail that police continued firing on his lifeless body during a procession, witnessed by his helpless father. The piece highlights Tahmid's personal life — his dreams of becoming a cricketer, his close bond with his family — and his prophetic words to his mother: "If I die, I will become a martyr (shaheed)," framing his death within the broader context of the July 2024 anti-government uprising in Bangladesh and calling for justice for his killing.
