Birthday of mass uprising martyr Golam Nafiz

Today is May 22, the birthday of martyr Golam Nafiz. Had he lived, he would have turned 18 today. On August 4, 2024, he lost his life after being shot by the police beneath the Farmgate foot overbridge. Even then, he was tightly gripping the rod of a rickshaw with both hands, making a final attempt to survive. Nafiz's father says, "Look at that, he was holding onto the rickshaw rod. If I had gotten him then, I could have tried a little to save him…" On the way to the hospital with rickshaw puller Nur Mohammad, Awami League leaders created obstacles.

The family could not understand anything for a long time, and later confirmed his death upon seeing a photograph taken by photojournalist Jibon Ahmed. Nafiz had achieved GPA-5 in his SSC exams and enrolled in Navy College, with a dream of becoming an army officer. But that dream was no longer fulfilled due to the failure of the state and administration. Source: July Revolutionary Alliance - JRA
