Students of Islamic University (IU) organized a protest march and rally on Friday, January 16, demanding prompt justice for the killing of Shahid Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, spokesperson of the Iqilab Moncho. The demonstration began after Friday prayers at the central mosque premises and moved through various campus roads and nearby Sheikhpara market before concluding with a brief rally at the university’s main gate.

During the rally, participants chanted slogans calling for justice and accountability, expressing frustration that 35 days had passed since Hadi’s killing without any significant progress in the investigation. They alleged that a dark force was obstructing justice and vowed not to let Hadi’s memory fade. The students described Hadi as a symbol of anti-hegemony ideals and claimed he was targeted for his beliefs.

They urged the interim government to bring shooter Faisal, along with those who ordered and planned the killing, to justice swiftly and to contribute to building a new Bangladesh through fair legal action.
