On 23rd of February the Bangladeshi police forces charged against students, journalists and other activists, unleashing arbitrary violence under the guise of carrying out an “anti-drug” operation in the Dhaka University. A senior police officer stated: “We didn’t arrest that many today — the point was really just to shake them up.” That shows that the operation only had the sense to try to terrorize the student activists.
Nayem Uddin, student of the Dhaka University and activist of the RSYM was among the injured. The day after a protest meeting was carried out in front of the local press club in Mymensingh, Dhaka, condemned the police arbitrary attack and demanded the dismissal of the police members who attacked journalists and the student activists.
