Male bohemian socialist killed for beliefs? (8)

I believe the answer is:

martyred

'killed for beliefs?' is the definition.
(martyrs die for their beliefs)

'male bohemian socialist' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'bohemian' becomes 'arty' (bohemian can mean arty or creative).
'socialist' becomes 'red' (socialism is often associated with the colour red).
'm'+'arty'+'red'='MARTYRED'
