Online Desk : Shaheed Noor Hossain Day will be observed today (Nov 10) in a befitting manner. On this day in 1987, Noor Hossain, who imprinted his bare chest and back with the slogans “Free democracy” and “Down with autocracy”, embraced martyrdom in police firing during an anti-autocracy demonstration at Zero Point in the city, now known as Shaheed Noor Hossain Square.
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and other political and social organizations have taken various programmes to observe the day. In the face of the movement, the then autocratic ruler HM Ershad had to step down on December 6 in 1990. Since then, the day is observed every year as Shaheed Noor Hossain Day.
