The High Court yesterday ordered the Islamic University to suspend the five students who tortured a female student at a dorm in mid-February.
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.

One would assume that this shameful practice would belong to the past.
