The funeral of Bangladeshi student activist Sharif Osman Hadi was held in Dhaka, with thousands of people attending, including dignitaries and government officials. The main procession started near the parliament, and later continued toward Dhaka University. He will be buried beside the national poet, Qazi Nazrul Islam.
The government declared a National Day of Mourning, with flags flown at half-mast, and police were deployed across the capital due to large crowds and security concerns. Many attendees expressed strong emotions and worries about personal safety, criticizing the security forces. The killing sparked protests and outrage in the city.
