Shaheed Khandakar Mosharraf Hossain

On October 16, 1995,  Bangladesh issued a stamp commemorating the 8th Anniversary of the death of Shaheed Khandakar Mosharraf Hossain. Hossain was a politically active student leader. During a political demonstration in 1987 he was shot dead. The stamp was withdrawn from sale on October 21, 1995. The apparent reason was the fact, that Hossain was a member of the political opposition.
