March for Justice: Protesters rally at Supreme Court
As part of the nationwide 'March for Justice' on Wednesday, protesters and their supporters gathered in front of the Supreme Court, demanding justice for the deaths of fellow students and the violence inflicted upon them.
Police and BGB personnel surrounded the main gate of the Supreme Court as protesters began assembling around 1:00 pm, chanting slogans to push for their 9-point demands, including "We want justice" and "Amar bhai kabare, khuni bahire?"
Students held placards with various slogans, and tensions rose when police detained two Dhaka University students, Arif and Nahid, who were later released after resistance from the crowd.
A group of Dhaka University teachers also joined the protest. Shehreen Amin Monami, a faculty member of the Public Administration department at DU, was reportedly injured in a scuffle with police near Curzon Hall on the university campus.
Protesters and teachers began gathering at Doel Chattar on the campus around 12:30 pm, despite reports of obstructions by law enforcement. Meanwhile, some Supreme Court lawyers intervened when police attempted to detain two students on the court premises.
The protest was organized by the Anti-Discrimination Students' Movement, who announced the 'March for Justice' program on Tuesday night, calling for demonstrations at educational institutions, court premises, and major roads nationwide.
