BUET campus was in turmoil late at night over the escape of BUET student Abrar Fahad's killer and death row convict Jamie from prison. BUET students have erupted in protests demanding the arrest and hanging of the killer Jamie.
On Monday (February 24), students took out a procession from BUET's Shahid Minar at 11:30 pm. The procession passed through Palashi intersection, VC's quarters and met at the foot of the Raju Sculpture of Dhaka University. Later, BUET students held a press conference there.
At that time, students chanted slogans- 'Hang the rope of the gallows, all the murderers around their necks'; 'we want hanging, hanging, we want hanging of the murderers'; Abrar's brother's blood, I won't let it go in vain'; My brother is in the grave, why is the murderer outside'; 'July/24's action, direct action'; They kept raising slogans like 'Power or people, people or people'; 'Apocalypse or struggle, struggle struggle'; 'July's tool, let it roar again'.
After the press conference, Abrar Fahad's younger brother Abrar Fayyaz said, "Today, a hearing was going on in the High Court. There, we learned that my brother's murderer Jamie had escaped. The state is responsible for the escape of my brother's murderer. The current government will not be able to avoid this responsibility either. The government's higher-ups knew about it but they hid it. Today, the High Court said that he escaped after August 5. We have not received a clear answer to this. This is a shameful matter for the state."
He said, "No excuse will be accepted. We demand a clear answer from the government and the prison department. We demand that he be arrested again and those involved in the escape be found and brought to justice.
