National Citizen Party (NCP) leader Dr. Tasnim Jara on Thursday expressed deep sorrow over the death of Osman Hadi, describing him as a fearless voice who lived courageously.

In a Facebook post, she said: “We move through our days believing that tomorrow is a given, that courage will be rewarded, that speaking honestly might be risky but not fatal. Most of the time, life allows us to keep these illusions intact."

She said Osman Hadi’s death disrupts that comfort.

"He was unafraid to say what he believed needed to be said. He did not live cautiously. He lived as if his voice mattered. In another country, in another time, that would have been an ordinary choice. Here, it became a dangerous one."

Jara said there is something deeply unsettling about losing someone like him. "Not only because a life has ended too early, but because it forces us to confront how narrow the space for courage has become."

She said, "I've also been thinking about time. About how unevenly it is distributed. About how some people are granted the luxury of growing old, of refining their opinions, of changing their minds, while others are never given that chance. Osman Hadi did not get to age into reflection. He was taken while still in motion.
Remembering Hadi must mean more than mourning him. It must mean refusing to accept a future where courage is punished and silence is rewarded. May he rest in peace.”
