Inqilab Moncho urges people to 'besiege Jamuna'

Inqilab Moncho activists have taken positions in front of the Chief Adviser’s official residence, state guesthouse Jamuna, and urged people from across the country to join the siege to ensure justice for the killing of the group’s spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi.

Hadi's widow Rabeya Shampa also took position there to block the movement of Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus.

In a facebook post published at 7:30pm on Thursday, the group said the “one-hour ultimatum” given to the Chief Adviser had expired, but he still had not responded to their calls for fair justice for Hadi’s murder.

"Therefore, students and general people from across the country are requested to 'peacefully' take positions at every entrance of Yunus’ official residence," the post read.

The siege must continue to press home the demand of a UN-backed independent investigation, it said.

Hadi, an independent candidate aspirant for Dhaka-8 constituency and a key figure in the July Uprising, was shot by miscreants on 12 December last year, and succumbed to his injuries about a week later while undergoing treatment at a Singapore hospital.
