Protest Against Rape: DU student falls sick on third day of hunger strike
The Dhaka University student who started fast-unto-death on Thursday demanding arrest of former Ducsu vice-president Nurul Haque Nur and five others in a rape case fell sick yesterday.
She refused to get admitted to a hospital, and vowed to continue the strike until Nur and Hasan Al Mamun, suspended convener of Bangladesh Sadharan Chhatra Odhikar Sangrakkhan Parishad, are arrested.
On September 20, she filed a case against Nur, Hasan, Nazmul Hasan Sohag and Saiful Islam, joint conveners of the platform; Nazmul Huda, vice-president of the platform and DU student Abdullah Hil Baki with Lalbagh Police Station.
Another case was filed with Kotwali Police Station against the six on September 21 under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act by the same student.
She started the hunger strike at the base of Raju Memorial Sculpture accompanied by some classmates and activists of Chhatra League.
DU Proctor AKM Golam Rabbani said they are looking into the issue.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh Chhatra League and Bangladesh Students Union expressed solidarity with the student.
Leaders and activists of the two organisations brought out separate protest rallies on Friday.
