The announcement came in protest of the killing of Inqilab Mancha Spokesperson Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, who was shot in broad daylight on 12 December. Hadi succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment in Singapore on 18 December.
Felani, 15 years old, was shot dead by India's Border Security Force on 7 January 2011, along the Kurigram-Cooch Behar border. Her body, left hanging on the barbed-wire fence, sparked outrage at home and abroad.
