Homage to martyred intellectuals in pictures

Just two days ahead of the country's cherished victory on this day 50 years ago, the occupation Pakistan army in collusion with their local collaborators -- Al-Badr, Al-Shams and Razakars - butchered the most prominent intellectuals of the country in a bid to cripple the newly emerging nation of Bangladesh.

National leaders and people from all walks of life have been paying glowing tributes by placing wreaths at the memorial erected in memory of the martyred intellectuals at Mirpur in the capital since Tuesday morning.
