Bangladesh marks 1971 intellectuals' massacre, demanding justice and truth on Martyred Intellectuals Day.
On December 14, 2025, Bangladesh observed Martyred Intellectuals Day, commemorating the 1971 targeted killings of educators, doctors, journalists, and artists by Pakistani forces and local collaborators during the Liberation War.
The systematic executions, concentrated in Dhaka and Saidpur, aimed to destroy the nation’s intellectual and cultural foundations.
Despite decades of government promises, a complete and official list of the estimated 1,100+ victims remains incomplete, with efforts stalled since 2024.
Political figures, including BNP’s Tarique Rahman, honored the martyrs’ legacy, emphasizing their commitment to justice, knowledge, and democracy, while stressing that their vision remains unfulfilled under authoritarian rule.
The day is marked by nationwide ceremonies, media tributes, and calls for truth, remembrance, and the rule of law.
