The port city of Chattogram witnessed daylong protests on Friday as multiple political and social groups demonstrated against the killing of Osman Hadi, spokesperson of the Inquilab Mancha and a key figure in the July Revolution. The demonstrations included funeral processions, special prayers, rallies, and road blockades organized under various banners across the city, drawing participation from political activists, professionals, and youth groups.
Protesters marched from major mosques such as Anderkilla and Jamiatul Falah, demanding the interim government ensure justice by bringing the alleged killers back from India. They accused law enforcement of failing to arrest suspects even a week after the incident, despite viral footage identifying them within hours. Leaders warned of a broader movement if the government did not act decisively.
The unrest reflects growing frustration over cross-border security and administrative inaction. Observers note that the protests could intensify if authorities fail to deliver visible progress in the investigation or address concerns about border control and accountability.
