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.
The youths have turned away from politics out of frustration.
A case was filed against a Bangladesh Chhatra League leader in Faridpur today under Digital Security Act for posting a photo on his Facebook page with a pistol-like object in his waist.
A mere “questioning” sent two of those students to the ICU. The ordeal didn’t end there. BCL leaders and activists forcibly entered the ICU and threatened the two ailing students. 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”
