Girls rally for safe campus at DU

Staff Correspondent: Girls of Dhaka University have come down to the streets in large numbers demanding a campus safe for students and unconditional release of the quota protesters.

Wielding banners of respective halls and ‘Students Against Repression’, students of Rokeya Hall and Poet Sufia Kamal Hall paraded through campus on Thursday noon chanting slogans against imprisonment of university students and their unconditional release.

They were in opposing stand to another group demonstrating at the base of Raju Sculpture, wielding a banner of ‘General Students’, demanding an end to unrest at campus. They were saying, they want to walk away from agitation and go back to their education.

Last night, all the female dorms saw overflowing protests, in unison, against the harassment on students and their detention. The campus was, yet once again in a space of two months, turned sleepless and the shouts of protests reverberated through its walls.
