Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi will be laid to rest beside national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam at his family’s request, said Fatima Tasnim Zuma, Liberation War and Democratic Movement Secretary of Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu), on Friday.

Zuma shared the information in a Facebook post at 6pm, which was also confirmed on Inqilab Mancha’s official Facebook page.

She said the vehicle carrying Hadi’s body has left the airport for the morgue. After placing the body there, Inqilab Mancha activists will take positions in Shahbagh.

“Based on the family’s request, Hadi will be laid to rest beside poet Nazrul. A janaza will be held Saturday after Zuhr prayers at Manik Mia Avenue. Instead of today, tomorrow the procession will bring the body to DU’s central mosque,” Zuma added.

She also urged students and supporters to continue the movement in an orderly manner to prevent any infiltration or violence. “There will be no opportunity to view the body. Everyone is requested to maintain discipline and offer prayers for martyr Hadi,” she said.
