Assault of JU Students
Punishment to JCD men demanded


Students against Repression on Jahangirnagar University (JU) Campus, a newly formed platform to resist repression, brought out a procession on the campus yesterday demanding punishment to the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) men, who assaulted a female student and injured three others on August 21.

Their other demands include formulation of code against sexual harassment and establishment of a cell where victims can lodge their complaints and report grievances.

The assaulted girl could not move freely on the campus as of Saturday. She attended the examination on Saturday being guarded by the university authorities.

She also submitted a written statement to the authorities yesterday evening seeking security on the campus.

Meanwhile, Jahangirnagar Theatre will stage a drama titled "Ekti Non Fiction" on social science premises today to drum up support for the ongoing movement.
