Foreign students of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University (BSMRSTU) in Gopalganj formed a human chain and brought out a rally on Monday noon protesting the gang-rape of a student of the university.
From the human chain, they demanded exemplary punishment of the six culprits arrested in the case. Their rally, with slogans ‘we want justice,’ ‘stop rape’ and ‘no rape,’ marched the entire campus.
A foreign student from Somalia, Mohammad Adam, said, "The administration will have to take the responsibility if my sisters cannot move on the campus freely with safety. We want Gopalganj to be free from rape incidents, Bangladesh to be free from rape, and the world, above all, to be free from rape. The administration must ensure the justice of this rape incident."
Earlier, a group of miscreants picked up two students in an auto-rickshaw near Nabinbagh helipad in Gopalganj sadar on Wednesday night.
Later, they tied the male student and raped the female student in an under construction building of Gopalganj Zilla School at around 9:45pm. On Saturday morning, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested six people in connection with the gang-rape of a student of BSMRSTU.
