"People can die, but ideas cannot die," Osman Hadi's recent interview goes viral

Bangladesh student leader, Osman Sharif Hadi's recent video is going viral after his killing.

Hadi, 32, a key figure in last year's student-led uprising that toppled longtime Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, was shot in the head by masked assailants in Dhaka last week while launching his campaign for an election due in February.

He died on Thursday in Singapore after six days on life support.

"People can die, but ideas cannot die, platforms cannot die," Osman Hadi said in his recent interview with Centrist Nation TV.

The interview clip of Hadi is going viral on the internet. 

His death has prompted a wave of unrest in the South Asian nation that included coordinated mob attacks on major newspapers and cultural institutions.

Police and paramilitary forces were deployed across the capital for Saturday's funeral but there were no reports of any renewed violence.

Interim government leader Muhammad Yunus said Hadi's legacy would endure, describing the funeral as a collective pledge to uphold the ideals he had championed.
