Police entered Shamsunnahar Hall on July 23, 2002 at night, dragged the female students, called their names, and assaulted them
Different students organisations yesterday demanded proper investigation into the police assault on female students at Dhaka University's Shamsunnahar Hall on July 23, 2002 and demanded exemplary punishment to the culprits.
The organisations placed the demands at their respective programmes on the university campus, marking the 9th anniversary of the Shamsunnahar Hall Tragedy Day.
On that day in 2002, police entered the dormitory at night, dragged the female students, called their names, and assaulted them, leaving over 50 students hurt.
Police swooped on them as they were protesting illegal stay of some female leaders of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), a pro-BNP student organisation.
Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) held a rally on the university campus following a silent procession demanding trial of the JCD men responsible for the July 23 incident.
BCL Shamsunnahar Hall unit organised a photo exhibition, inaugurated by Vice-chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique, at Aparajeyo Bangla on the campus.
Besides, Bangladesh Chhatra Union, Bangladesh Chhatra Federation, Biplobi Chhatra Moitri, and Samajtantrik Chhatra Front arranged separate programmes including procession, candle lighting, and photo exhibition.
