Thousands of supporters of an Islamist group rallied in Bangladesh's capital on Saturday to denounce proposed recommendations for ensuring equal rights, including ones related to property, for mainly Muslim women.

Leaders of the Hefazat-e-Islam group said the proposed legal reforms are contradictory to the Sharia law.
More than 20,000 followers of the group rallied near the Dhaka University, some carrying banners and placards reading "Say no to Western laws on our women, rise up Bangladesh."

What thoughts went through their minds? What did it take to override the basic human imperative to survive, in order to keep fighting? The result is Ikkis, which tells the true story of a 21-year-old who secured the victory he wanted, and paid for it with his life.
