Different socio-cultural organisations formed a human chain in Bandarban district town yesterday, demanding punishment of the killers of U Pru Marma, 24, a teacher at Ananda School run by a non-government organisation.
Donai Pru Nelly, district unit president of Human Rights Commission, Rumpa Das, an official of Karitas, and Aong Chong Mong, an indigenous leader addressed the programme, among others.
U Pru was found dead in Naresatong area in Roangchhari upazila of the district on Friday.
She had been missing since Thursday. She had gone to school on that day, but had not returned home.
Police suspected that she might have been killed after being raped.
Speakers at the human chain said the government was silent although incidences of murder, rape and abduction continued.
“The criminal activities, including rape, murder and abduction, are happening because the government has failed to bring Kalpana Chakma’s killers to book,” they said, adding that the district administration should arrest the killers as soon as possible to maintain law and order in the district.
They vowed to launch a tougher movement if the law enforcement agencies failed to punish U Pru’s killers.
It is to be noted that Muslim Uddin, an accused in the U Pru Marma killing case, was beaten to death by a mob on Saturday.
They also submitted a memorandum to the minister for Home Affairs through deputy commissioner.
