Full List of Martyred Intellectuals by March 26: Minister

Liberation War Minister AKM Mozammel Haque said that a full list of martyred intellectuals will be published by 26 March next year. 

The Minister made a comment after paying his respects at the Mirpur Martyred Intellectuals Memorial in the capital on Monday morning, marking the Martyred Intellectuals Day.

“The government has finalised a primary list of martyred intellectuals containing names of 1,222 professionals who were murdered by the Pakistan occupation army and its local collaborators during the War of Liberation in 1971. The list is not the final one as we are collecting information about martyred intellectuals from across the country,” he said.

“Listing of names will continue as many applications are pending with the ministry and many more may come in future,” he added.
