A group of Dhaka University students on Monday placed an 11-point demand to ensure justice for Shahriar Alam Shammo, who was recently killed on the campus, as the students continued their protest over the killing for the sixth consecutive day on Monday.
On Monday, the students protested on the university campus by organising a press conference, offering a memorandum to the proctor and bringing out a torch procession.
A group of students, under the banner of 鈥楽ontras Birodhi Sikkharthibrindo鈥� placed the demands at a press conference in front of the university鈥檚 central library in the afternoon.
The demands include the formation of a 鈥楯ustice Ensuring Committee鈥� comprising the family members of Shahriar, students, and teachers to ensure an impartial investigation and a fair trial in the case of the killing, and the resignation of the vice-chancellor and the聽 proctor for their failure to ensure security on the campus.
Abidur Rahman Mishu, literature and publication affairs secretary of the Surja Sen Hall unit of JCD, Israt Jahan Emu of Biplabi Chhatra Moitree, and Muhammad Mustakim of Chhatra Union also spoke at the press conference.
Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, the student wing of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, also brought out a torch procession on the campus in the evening.
JCD announced to hold a sit-in programme at Shahbagh crossing at 3:30pm on Tuesday.
The DU unit of the Bangladesh Democratic Student Council offered a memorandum to the proctor to press their five-point demand seeking safety and security for the students on the campus and expressing frustration over the administration鈥檚 role after the murder.
Speaking outside the DU proctor鈥檚 office after the submission of the memorandum, the council鈥檚 DU unit convener Abdul Kader also condemned the role of Shahbagh Police Station.
Shahriar, a student of the Institute of Education and Research and also a leader of the DU unit JCD, died in an attack by miscreants in the Suhrawardy Udyan area on the night of May 13.
On May 14, the police arrested three 鈥榦utsiders鈥� for their suspected involvement in the murder.
