Activists of Inqilab Moncho gathered on Saturday for the funeral procession of their slain leader, Sharif Osman bin Hadi, as heavy security was deployed across parts of Dhaka, two days after he died in Singapore following his assassination. Preparations for Hadi's funeral prayer are underway at Manik Mia Avenue, located south of the national Parliament Building. Hadi, the Inqilab Moncho convenor, was shot at close range on December 12 while travelling in a rickshaw in Dhaka's Bijoynagar area. While Inqilab Moncho has appealed to its supporters to maintain peace during the funeral procession, the situation in Dhaka remains tense. As Inqilab Moncho cadres gather for the funeral procession, the interim government remains under intense pressure to maintain peace in the capital.
