The Bangladesh government has decided to officially recognize October 7, the death anniversary of BUET student Abrar Fahad, as a national day of observance. The move comes six years after Abrar was brutally killed by members of the banned Chhatra League for posting an anti-India status on Facebook. The Ministry of Cultural Affairs will also observe February 25 as BDR Massacre Day. On the eve of Abrar’s sixth death anniversary, a documentary titled “You Failed to Kill Abrar Fahad” will be screened simultaneously across all Shilpakala Academies, with Abrar’s father attending the Dhaka screening. The government is also preparing a national calendar highlighting significant political and cultural dates, where both days will be commemorated annually. Abrar’s murder in 2019 sparked nationwide outrage and renewed debate over student politics, freedom of expression, and justice in Bangladesh’s higher education institutions.
