We condemn police action on female students

The news that male cops grabbed female students by the hair, manhandled them, and charged baton on them indiscriminately (TDS Dec. 4) came to me as a great shock. This happened during a demonstration staged by diploma medical technology and pharmacy students of Barisal which left at least 22 injured. This incident indicates that women are not safe even from the law enforcing agencies. We condemn such police brutality and at the same time demand exemplary punishment to the policemen involved so that this kind of shameful incident doesn't happen in future.
