The students of Barisal Government Brojo Mohun College on Saturday formed a human chain and held a rally on the campus, demanding punishment for the college student who prompted a college girl to commit suicide.
The speakers also called for actions against obscene culture, which considered women as commodity and end to gender discrimination in society.
They said sexual harassment would not stop if the stalkers were not given exemplary punishment.
The speakers told the gathering that the college unit Bangladesh Chhatra League leader Nazrul Islam Nayan prompted Suparna Bala to commit suicide by videoing her naked at a gunpoint and later spreading the video on the campus.
They also condemned the role of the college authorities as they did not yet expel the arrested stalker Nayan.
They called for a social movement to make a policy to restrict the random use of mobiles with camera.
The programme, organised by BM College Samajtantrik Chhatra Front, was addressed by the organisation's vice-president Shila Rani Das, and members Imran Habib, Badruddoza Saikat, Niaz Morshed, Runu Bhattachariya, HM Emon, Bangladesh Students' Union leader Ahmed Sukarna, Brojo Mohun Theatre activist Himangshu Chandra Mistri and BMC Debating Club activist Naznin Sultana.
The police, on July 19, found Suparna Bala, 22, hanging from roof of a house where she was living with her husband and the couple were earning their livelihood by tutoring students privately.
Later, the police found that Suparna committed suicide after Chhatra League leader Nazrul Islam Nayan, also a BM College mathematics third year student, videoed her naked with his mobile phone at gunpoint at the Planet World Children's Park in the city and spread it on the campus.
The police think that she committed suicide to avoid social anxiety.
