Fazilatunnesa Hall
Students protest probe body report


Students of Begum Fazilatunnesa Mujib Hall of Dhaka University yesterday brought out a procession on the campus protesting the report of the six-member probe committee which recommended punitive measures against the students for their July 17 agitation.

The probe body found some of the students and at least two house tutors responsible for the incident. The students said the authorities have no right to take action against them as they have been pressing for their legitimate demands for around four years.

They demanded an impartial investigation into their agitation that prompted the resignation of all of the house tutors of the female dormitory.

The protesting students threatened to leave the dormitory. Sources said one student has threatened to kill herself if the authorities take any action against them. But Prof Siddiqur Rahman, member secretary of the probe committee, said they did not know about such threat.
