ISLAMABAD: Tensions have been building up at the International Islamic University's (IIU) girls' hostels after several clashes occurring between local and foreign girls during the last few days. Serious brawls between the girls have also resulted in severe injuries to the students. Both local and foreign students have accused each other of aggression, however the local students are also targeting the universities administration for being biased and siding with the foreign students.
Razia, a student of the Hasool-e-Din department at the university allegedly suffered severe injuries at the hands of three foreign students in the H-10 Hostel. Three Chinese students of the Arabic department living in the IIU B-Block girls hostel, allegedly attacked Razia on Tuesday evening. Razia reportedly sustained severe injuries and was rendered unconscious after the incident. IIU students told Daily Times that they rushed Razia to the Pakistan Institute Medical Sciences (PIMS), where doctors said that the case should be reported to the police. Students said that the warden who accompanied them to PIMS refused to file a report with the police saying that "this would tarnish the image of the university" and took the girl back to hostel. |
