Masuma Hadi, sister of slain activist Osman Hadi, stated that the July movement would be defeated if justice for her brother’s murder is not ensured. She expressed deep frustration over the prolonged delay in the trial. Her remarks came during the inauguration of the Shaheed Sharif Osman Hadi Memorial Stage office in Nalchity, Jhalakathi, held on Monday morning at Hadi’s childhood home in Kuripatti.

Following the inauguration, participants organized a protest march demanding justice for Osman Hadi’s killing. The march moved through the town’s main road and ended at Shaheed Selim Talukdar Square. Speakers at the rally demanded the government ensure a speedy trial and criticized its silence on the issue. They also called for the accused to be brought back from India to face justice.

Students from local educational institutions, leaders of the July movement, and local political figures joined the demonstration, emphasizing the community’s ongoing demand for accountability and justice.
