DHAKA, Sept 11, 2024 (BSS) – Bangladesh Jatiotabadi Chatra Dal has formed two separate cells to collect and preserve the evidences of torture on the students of Dhaka University carried out by the leaders and activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) in the last 15 years.

‘To preserve the true history, ‘Evidence Collection Cell’ will be working on collecting and preserving the evidences of torture while ‘Legal Aid Cell’ will aid the victims to get justice, said a JCD press release today.

To prolong the Awami authoritarian regime, BCL leaders and activists brutally tortured the general students along with leaders and activists of JCD and other opposition parties, violating the law and human rights, said the release.

Besides, the Awami regime shut all the doors including politicizing the judiciary to get justice for such heinous incidents carried out by the ruling party leaders and activists, it added.

After 2009, BCL formed torture cells in each hall of Dhaka University where all arrangements were standby to take away students’ right to raise voice violating the human rights, said JCD Dhaka University unit general secretary Nahiduzzaman Shipon.
  
The cells have been formed to identify the culprits involved in such heinous incidents and ensure their punishment so that no one in future can show such audacity to commit such crimes, Nahid added. 

 Members of the evidence collection cell are: Abu Afsan Mohammad Yahya, ABM Izazul Karim Ruyel, Monjurul Alam Riad, Khorshed Alam Sohel, Ariful Islam, Ganesh Chandra Roy and Nahiduzzaman Shipon. 

JCD leaders Md Sazzad Hossen Sabuj, HM Zahidul Islam, Md Al Amin, Md Rafiqul Islam Himel, Mollik Wasi Uddin Tami and SM Saif Kader Rubab will be working in ‘Legal Aid Cell’.
