Martyred Intellectuals Day (Bengali: শহীদ বুদ্ধিজীবি দিবস Shaheed Buddhijibi Dibôsh) is observed on 14 December in Bangladesh to commemorate those who were killed by Pakistani forces and their collaborators at the end of the 1971 Liberation War. Just two days after the brutal carnage on December 16 Bangladesh became independent through the surrender of Pakistani occupation forces.
