Reporter : Asif, thank you for speaking with me today. I know this is a painful time, but can you tell us what happened when Abu Sayed was shot during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement?
Asif : Thank you. It’s hard to talk about. We were peacefully protesting, demanding a fair, merit-based system. But suddenly, the police showed up and tried to disperse us aggressively.
Reporter : I understand. What happened next?
Asif : The situation escalated quickly. Abu Sayed was standing beside me, chanting and holding a sign, completely unarmed. He was determined, but peaceful, like the rest of us. Then, a group of policeman started moving toward us. They didn’t warn us; they just came closer with weapons ready.
Reporter : So, they opened fire without warning?
Asif : Yes, without any warning. I saw one of the officers aimed his gun at Abu Sayed and fired from a close distance. It was horrifying, inhuman, Sayed fell immediately- there was nothing we could do. It all happened so fast.
Reporter : That must have been devastating. How did the crowd react?
Asif : People were in shock. Some screamed, others tried to run.
Reporter : I’m so sorry for your loss. Why do you think this incident has sparked such an intense reaction from people across the country.
Asif : Because Abu Sayed’s Death wasn’t just an attack on him – it was an attack on our right to speak, to demand a fairer society.
Reporter : Thank you, Asif.
Asif : Thank you too.
