Progressive Students' Alliance on Tuesday announced a rally for May 16 and a procession for May 19 in protest at the shooting and maiming of college student Limon by the Rapid Action battalion and police attack on the residents of Fulbari and Barapukuria on May 5.
Announcing the programme at a press conference at Dhaka University Madhur Canteen, the leaders of the students' alliance demanded exemplary punishment of the RAB personnel involved in shooting Limon which resulted in amputation of his left leg.
They said extrajudicial killings or killing in encounters were a kind of terrorism and it was time to protest against such serious violation of human rights.
The student leaders also protested against terrorism in educational institutions and violence for establishing supremacy on the campuses.
The PSA condemned the police action on members of National Committee for Protection of Oil, Gas, Mineral Resources, Port and Power during their protest against acquisition of private lands for mining at Barapukuria.
Shamajtantrik Chhatra Front president Saifuzzaman Sakon, general secretary Mehdi Hasan Tamal, Bangladesh Chhatra Federation president Ariful Islam, Bangladesh Chhatra Union president SM Shuvo and leaders of Chhatra Oikya Forum and Biplobi Chhatra Maitri were present at the conference.
