Golam Nafiz’s martyred mother’s anger against the police administration remains fierce, following the brutal death of her son at their hands during the July-August revolution.

“The police administration, which is responsible for shooting small children like my Nafiz, lives off the money earned by common people. Even today, they are responsible for our security. Every time I see them on the street, I am reminded of their brutality. ”, said Nazma Akhtar at a discussion held today (November 19) at the National Museum of Bangladesh.

Golam Nafiz, a student of Banani Bidyaniketan School and College, was shot dead on August 4 during the Student Anti-Discrimination Movement in Dhaka’s Farmgate area.

After Nafiz was shot, the police placed his body on the leg of a rickshaw, where he was still holding on to the rickshaw’s pole with his hands.

The rickshaw puller, Nur Mohammad, rushed Nafiz to the hospital; however, he later succumbed to his injuries.

Describing the day, Nazma alleged that while picking up her son’s body from the Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College and Hospital, the hospital authorities demanded a substantial fee.

“As long as I live, the pain of losing my son will remain in my memory. The hospital didn’t even give us the flag that my son was holding when he was taken there.”
