Amanullah Mohammad Asaduzzaman (known as Asad; 10 June 1942 – 20 January 1969)[1] was an East Pakistani student activist whose death at the hands of police during a protest on 20 January 1969 "changed the nature of the student-mass movement and ... turned into a mass-upsurge against the Ayub regime and its repressive measures", according to Banglapedia.[2] The Daily Star reports him as one of three martyrs of the 1969 uprising in East Pakistan which "set the stage for the liberation war".[3] He was awarded the Independence Day Award in 2018 posthumously by the Government of Bangladesh.[4]
