Inqilab Mancha urged people to refrain from violence over the death of its spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi who died at a Singapore hospital on Thursday a week after a gun attack on him.
In a Facebook post, the socio-cultural platform – formed in the wake of the July Uprising – called on people to hold protest marches in their respective areas demanding the arrest and trial of those responsible for the killing.
The platform also sought prayers for the departed soul of Hadi, a prominent figure of the July Uprising, spokesperson of Inqilab Mancha and a prospective candidate for the upcoming 13th national parliamentary election.
Meanwhile, Hadi’s body will be brought back to Bangladesh on Friday.
A Biman Bangladesh Airlines commercial flight is scheduled to depart Singapore around 3:50pm (local time) and arrive in Dhaka around 6pm, according to Inqilab Mancha.
The first Namaz-e-Janaza will be held at Angullia Mosque in Singapore at 10am on Friday.
In Bangladesh, his Janaza will take place on Saturday after Zohr prayers at Manik Mia Avenue in the capital, the platform said.
