The hall incident
I was talking to one of my Shamsunnahar Hall friends on the incident of July 23, 2002. She was trembling terribly, "I was on the brink of death. Sometimes I feel it was even worse than death. I had to hold my tongue for a long time... so that no sound of screaming could come out." It is known to all by now that the brightest girl who stood first in our honors exams (Dept of English) was among the arrested girls and was tortured by the police in custody. The government formed a judicial inquiry committee. The respectable judge identified the persons and through the submission of a report our government somehow escaped its responsibility of ensuring security of university students.
The authorities concerned should look into the matter in the interest of justice and fair play.
