Md Hasan Ontor, a student of Comilla University, was firmly determined for sacrificing his life for stamping out deep rooted fascism of the Awami League government led by fascist Sheikh Hasina.
He was one of the key organizers of the historic July uprising and a coordinator of the Comilla University chapter.
Historically, students at Cumilla University have always been at the forefront of political movements in defense of democratic rights. Following that tradition, they participated in the quota reform movement and the subsequent anti-discrimination uprising, risking everything.
Their coordinated and courageous efforts inspired a spontaneous consciousness against inequality across the student body.
Hasan Ontor, born in Companiganj in Noakhali, is a Master’s student of Public Administration and a resident at the university’s Bijoy-24 Hall.
In an exclusive interview with Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) recently, Hasan Ontor shared his experience of the deadly July uprising.
He said, “We were all mentally prepared to sacrifice our lives for the country. We knew this movement wouldn’t be easy. But we had to fight for justice.”
He believes that the struggle against discrimination was not only political — it was also a significant chapter in the fight for human rights. Through this movement, the students of Comilla University added a new chapter in history.
