Following violent clashes between student protesters and Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists at different public universities around the country, celebrities have voiced their support for the quota reform movement. The July 15 incident left approximately 300 people injured, including female students and BCL members. As of July 17 (3:00pm), six fatalities have been reported due to the ongoing unrest.

They said, “You are comfortable here [in the ICU]. We didn’t beat you much, and yet you are creating drama out of it. Don’t you dare name any names”
