7th November: Freedom fighter- soldier killing day

Freedom Fighter- Soldier Killing Day is being observed across the country today.

On this day in 1975, the killing process of the freedom fighter-soldiers started in the name of sepoy (soldier) revolution.

The process was initiated much earlier, in August 1975, through the assassination of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and almost his entire family. Subsequently, on November 3 in 1975, the four national leaders were brutally killed in prison. After four days, the then rulers started killing the finest sons of the nation.

In the name of sepoy revolution, three prominent freedom fighters were killed on this day in 1975. They were Khaled Mosharraf (BirUttam), KN Huda (BirUttam) and ATM Haider (Bir Bikram).

All of them were staying at the headquarters of the 10th Bengal Regiment in the morning when they were killed by two company commanders, Asad and Jalil, opening gunshots from a handshaking distance.
