BCL demands speedy trial

Leaders of the Rajshahi University (RU) unit pro-Awami League student organisation Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) yesterday demanded trial of the killers of Faruk Hossain soon.
On February 9, 2010, Faruk, a BCL activist and final year student of mathematics department, was killed allegedly by cadres of pro-Jamaat student body Islami Chhatra Shibir on the campus.
On July 30 last year, police placed charges against 110 leaders and activists of Jamaat and Shibir.
Over 500 leaders and activists of BCL RU unit brought out a mourning procession on the campus marking Faruk's third death anniversary around 10:30am yesterday.
Later, they held a rally where RU unit BCL President Ahmed Ali, General Secretary Abu Hossain Bipu, Vice President Mashiur Rahman and Joint Secretary MB Amin, among others, spoke.
