Students announce 'Resistance Week' with four demands

Anti-discrimination students brought out a procession on the Dhaka University campus on Tuesday.

Dhaka, August 13 – Anti-Discrimination Student Movement has announced a 'Resistance Week' programme to press home their 4-point demand including the trial of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

As part of the campaign, students gathered in front of the Raju Memorial Sculpture at Dhaka University at 3 pm on Tuesday holding various placards.

They observed a one-minute silence in memory of the martyrs, followed by prayers and memorial services. The programme includes a nationwide road march towards locations where the national heroes embraced martyrdom.

The four new demands of the Anti-Discrimination Students' Movement are as follows:

1.A special tribunal must be formed to ensure the swift trial of Sheikh Hasina and her party leaders for "massacres" carried out using fascist framework.

2. Those involved in the planned killings, robberies, and looting by the Awami League and its affiliates to undermine the people's uprising must be brought to justice swiftly, and the rightful demands of minorities must be acknowledged.

3. Immediate removal and prosecution of those in the administration and judiciary who legitimised attacks and cases against the students and mass people, and who repeatedly attempted to establish a fascist regime.

4. Equal opportunities must be ensured soon for those who have been victims of discrimination within the administration and judiciary. - UNB
