Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 80398, member: 636"] Protesters shut down a major Dhaka intersection demanding justice for a slain activist. Leaders and members of Inqilab Moncho blocked the Shahbagh crossing after Friday prayers, halting traffic in areas like Katabon and Matsya Bhaban during a sit-in. They chanted slogans calling for the immediate arrest and harsh punishment of the killers of their spokesperson, Sharif Osman Hadi. The group's Dhaka University unit started the march from the central mosque, announcing on social media that they would continue their movement until a fast and exemplary trial was guaranteed. Hadi, a figure from the July Uprising and an independent parliamentary candidate for Dhaka-8, was shot in the head on a city street. He was treated locally before being airlifted to Singapore, where he later died. [/QUOTE]
