Sharif Osman Hadi, a prominent activist and potential independent candidate for Dhaka-8, died in a Singapore hospital after sustaining gunshot injuries in Dhaka’s Bijoynagar area last week. Known for his fiery speeches and leadership in the post-July uprising movements, Hadi had become a symbol of resistance for many young activists. His death follows months of threats and surveillance he claimed to have faced from political opponents.
Hadi, a Dhaka University political science graduate, founded the platform ‘Inquilab Moncho’ to campaign for justice and political reform after the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government. His activism focused on banning the Awami League and ensuring accountability for violence during the July events. Supporters praised his courage, while ruling party sympathizers viewed him as a divisive figure.
His death is expected to intensify political polarization and raise questions about activist safety in Bangladesh. Authorities have yet to confirm suspects or motives. Civil society groups have called for an independent investigation, fearing renewed unrest ahead of the next election cycle.
