With his death, Aziz emerged as new ‘martyr’ of Kashmiri Right to Self-Determination in league with Maqbool Bhat and caused a serious blow to the [[Kashmir conflict]].

==Early life==
Sheikh Abdul Aziz was born in 1952 in Namblabal, district [[Pampore]] close to the capital city [[Srinagar]]. He was of [[Arab]] ancestry whose ancestors had migrated from outside to Kashmir. He received basic education from Government School Pampore and then passed Matriculation from Government High School Pampore. Soon after passing his Matriculation examination, Aziz joined the agriculture business of his father Sheikh Abdul Salam, including growing high yield [[saffron]], for which his hometown is famous throughout the [[Kashmir valley]].<ref name="Sheikh Aziz: Man with a mission">{{cite news|url=http://www.kashmirwatch.com/showexclusives.php?subaction=showfull&id=1249947066&archive=&start_from=&ucat=15&var1news=value1news|title=Sheikh Aziz: Man with a mission|last=Shah|first=Waseem|date=10 Aug 2009|publisher=[kashmirwatch.org]|accessdate=11 August 2009}}</ref>{{unreliable source?|date=June 2012}}

==Death==
On 11 August 2008 the "[[Muzaffarabad chalo]]" call was given by the Hurriyat Conference and some other organisations against the 'economical blockade' of Kashmir valley. Processions were taken out from various areas across the valley. Aziz and Shabbir Shah were leading the march from [[Sopore]] towards the de facto border with Pakistan, when their rally was stopped by a force of police and army at [[Chala]], 25 km away from the border town of Uri, to disperse the march. Aziz along with many others were injured. All the critically injured were taken to Srinagar's SMHS hospital, where Aziz died. He was buried in "Marty's Graveyard" in [[Eidgah]], Srinagar on 12 August 2008.<ref name="‘Muzaffarabad chalo’ march fizzles out">{{cite news|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/20080812/main5.htm|title=‘Muzaffarabad chalo’ march fizzles out|author=Ehsan Fazili|date=11 August 2008|publisher=Tribune News Service|accessdate=12 August 2008}}</ref><ref name="Troops open fire as 250,000 ‘march to Muzaffarabad’: APHC leader Sheikh Aziz killed">{{cite news|url=http://archives.dawn.com/2008/08/12/top4.htm|title=Troops open fire as 250,000 ‘march to Muzaffarabad’: APHC leader Sheikh Aziz killed|author=Jawed Naqvi|date=12 August 2008|publisher=Dawn News|accessdate=2012-07-25}}</ref>
