Teachers and students of the Dhaka University (DU) will observe ‘DU Black Day’ friday to mark the atrocities unleashed by law enforcement agencies six years ago on the day.
A number of students were wounded during police action on August 20-23 following which four senior teachers and seven students were taken into custody and thrown behind bars.
The decision to observe the day as the black day was taken at an emergency meeting of the university authorities Wednesday, said a press release.
On the occasion, the teachers and students of the university will wear black badges and hold a discussion at the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) in the morning.
