Students of Jahangirnagar University (JU) have blocked the Dhaka-Aricha Highway in Savar, the outskirts of the capital, demanding release of journalist Shamsuzaman, withdrawal of case filed against him and scraping the Digital Security Act.

They blocked the road in front of the main gate of the university around 3:00 pm on Friday (March 31).

Though the students first blocked the Dhaka-bound lane on the highway, university authorities took them to the Aricha-bound lane later. They were protesting there till the report was filed.

Earlier, the students brought a procession from Morad Chattar of the university and took the street.

More than 500 members of police, RAB and different intelligent agencies were present at the spot.
