Students of Jahangirnagar University yesterday demanded that the bails of 13 accused, all activists of Chhatra League, in Zubair Ahmed murder case be scrapped.
They announced a sit-in programme outside the Judge’s Court during the next hearing on Thursday.
At a press conference, members and activists of “Shontrasher Biruddhe Jahangirnagar” vowed that the killers would not be allowed on the campus.
“On Sunday, the accused attacked two friends of Zubair who have been involved with the anti-terrorism movement since Zubair’s death on January 9, 2012,” Bangla department student Samjeer Ahmed said at the press conference.
“The accused also threatened the activists with death...Under this circumstance, we urge the High Court to take necessary action against the attackers and cancel their bails.”
Based on the university authority’s investigation, the Syndicate expelled seven of the accused for life and six others for two years for their direct involvement in the killing.
The agitating students yesterday asked the university authority to take action against Estate Officer Azim Uddin for remaining silent during Sunday’s attack.
Azim, a former Chhatra League leader, had been removed from his post of security officer after Zubair’s death.
The students expressed concern as the accused were moving freely on the campus with the help of administration and some were staying at the dormitories.
