'Everytime I see police, it reminds me of their brutality': Martyr Golam Nafiz's mother
Golam Nafiz, a student of Banani Bidyaniketan School and College, was shot dead on 4 August during the student movement in Dhaka's Farmgate area.
The rage of martyred Golam Nafiz's mother against the police administration remains fierce, following the brutal death of her son at their hands during the July-August revolution.
"The police administration, who are responsible for shooting at young kids like my Nafiz, lives on the money earned by the common people. Even today, they are responsible for providing us security. Everytime I see them on the street, I remember their brutality," said Nazma Akhtar at a discussion held in the Bangladesh National Museum today (19 November).

After Nafiz was shot, police placed his body on the foot of a rickshaw, where he was still holding onto the rickshaw's rod 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 had demanded a substantial fee.
"As long as I live, the pain of losing my son will remain in my memory. The hospital did not even give us the flag my son was holding when he was taken there."
