context_page_description: The following events occurred in February 1969:
context_section_description: Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Bengali leader of the Awami League and leader of the fight for the rights of the Bengali Muslim residents of East Pakistan against the Pakistan government, was ordered released unconditionally after nine months imprisonment.  Mujib and 33 others were set free as Pakistan's government dropped all charges arising from the Agartala Conspiracy Case, the orders coming on the same day as more than a million students protested the government of Ayub Khan.  In 1971, East Pakistan would become independent from West Pakistan as the new nation of Bangladesh, with Mujib as its first President.
  The final stage of the Tet Offensive, the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong attack on South Vietnam, was launched on multiple provinces.  The "Vietnam Spring Offensive", which would lead to President Nixon's decision to carry the Vietnam War into Cambodia, would continue until June 8.
  The Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine was founded.
