Bangladeshi activist Osman Bin Hadi, a key organizer of the political alliance July Oikya and spokesperson for the Inquilab Mancha, has died while undergoing treatment at Singapore General Hospital. Following his death, July Oikya announced that special prayers and symbolic coffin processions will be held across the country after Friday prayers.

In a statement released Thursday night, the group described Hadi as a revolutionary figure who opposed what it termed Indian dominance in the region. The organization urged supporters to remain patient and united, calling Hadi’s death a sacrifice for their cause. Reports indicate that authorities in Singapore did not permit a funeral service there, prompting the group to organize commemorative events in Bangladesh.

Observers note that such calls for mass gatherings could draw attention from law enforcement amid heightened political sensitivities. The events are expected to test the government’s tolerance for politically charged religious demonstrations in the current climate.
