Demonstrators across Bangladesh have continued to demand justice for Sharif Osman Hadi, a key figure in last year’s pro-democracy movement who passed away Thursday in a Singapore hospital after being shot by masked gunmen. The 32-year-old student leader was targeted while leaving a mosque in Dhaka just days before his death. As news broke, public outrage surged, leading to protests in Dhaka and other cities such as Gazipur, Sylhet, and Chattogram. Activists have accused perpetrators of seeking asylum in India, an allegation that remains unaddressed by New Delhi. Demonstrations included the vandalism of buildings linked to media organizations perceived as sympathetic to India, following the recent political upheaval in Bangladesh. The interim government, now led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has condemned the violence and emphasized the importance of maintaining peace during this critical moment in the nation’s democratic transition. In response to Hadi’s death, police have launched a manhunt and offered rewards for information on suspects involved in the shooting. Special prayers have been held nationwide, with Saturday designated as an official day of mourning.
