Photo show on repression of students held at DU

Students Against Oppre-ssion, an organisation of general students of Dhaka University, on Sunday arranged a photo exhibition in front of DU Central Students' Union building to raise awareness among the students of all kind of repressions across the country.

The daylong exhibition was a part of programmes, marking the 20-22 August student agitation during Army-backed caretaker rule in 2007.

The exhibition in four parts included photos of the Shamsunnahar hall protest in 2002; protest at the torture against teachers and students in August 2007, demonstrations demanding punishment of murderer of Abu Bakar in 2010, police torture on Abdul Kadar in 2011 and other recent incidents of repression.

The second part represented the photos of protests against increase in fees and RAB torture on students at Chittagong University in 2009.

The third part had photographs of demonstrations demanding trial of the teacher convicted of sexual abuse of a Viqarunnisa Noon School student.

Speaking on the occasion, organisation leader Moustafa Mahbub Russell said that it was high time for teachers and students to unite and protest all sorts of oppression and torture on students, rape, murder and other anti-social crimes.
