Thousands Pay Homage to Humayun Azad - 2004-08-27


The wreath-covered coffin of writer Humayun Azad was borne to a crowd of mourners yesterday, two weeks after he was found dead in Germany to the disbelief of his family. Professor Azad, who survived a knife attack in February before he died from what an autopsy said was heart attack in Munich on August 12, was laid to rest in his home village in Srinagar in Munshiganj.

Thousands of mourners, including his family, kin, colleagues, teachers and students, well-wishers and admirers paused in tearful silence to pay him homage on Dhaka University (DU) campus. Earlier a Biman flight flew the body to the tears of the distraught family members who were waiting at Zia International Airport.
