| Protesters in Rajshahi and Brahmanbaria yesterday demanded immediate arrest of Jamaat-Shibir cadres who assaulted a freedom fighter in the capital on July 11 and trial of war criminals. Our RU Correspondent reports: several hundred teachers, cultural activists and students of Rajshahi University under the banner of Sammilito Sangskritik Jote (SSJ) yesterday staged demonstrations on the campus demanding punishment of Jamaat-Shibir cadres who assaulted freedom fighter Sheikh Muhammad Aman Ali. They brought out a protest procession covering their faces with black ribbon and paraded the campus, formed a human chain and held a rally in front of the Central Library. Activists of different student organisatios also joined the programmes. At the rally, speakers strongly protested the assault on freedom fighter Sheikh Mohammad Ali Aman and demanded punishment of 'Jatiya Muktijoddha Parishad' leaders for their derogatory comments about the principals of the Liberation War. Demanding immediate ban on Jamaat-backed so-called freedom fighters' body, they said war criminals formed the organisation with fake freedom fighters only to divert the nation's attention from the demand for trial of war criminals. Cultural activists demanded immediate trial of war criminals by constituting a special tribunal and ban on Jamaat-Shibir politics in the country. |
