The Anti-quota protest platform Students Movement Against Discrimination’s several co-coordinators on Thursday pressed their demands to withdraw curfew and reopening campuses. 

The platform’s co-coordinators Asif Mahmud and Rifat Rashid shared a Facebook post on Thursday citing it as one of the coordinators Nahid Islam’s message.


‘Now our four-point demands are reopening internet, reopening all campuses removing the law enforcement agencies members, withdrawing curfew and ensuring security of all coordinators of the platform,’ they   shared on their Facebook posts quoting Nahid Islam.

He said that although their two demands were met partially, they demanded to reopen campuses and withdraw curfew.

The posts also said that they had no disagreement on in principle with eight-point and nine-point demands as their main demand was the same.

The disconnection in the communication system hampered to take a decision of their next course of the movement, and they would fix their work plan after discussing with all coordinators.

As their 48-hour ultimatum ends, Asif Mahmud said about their next programme that they would announce next programmes through a statement, discussing with coordinators and co-coordinators.

‘We will announce our next programme soon,’ he added.

They also called upon the protesting students across the country to seek divine blessings for all those martyred, including Abu Sayeed in Rangpur, to stand by the injured at hospitals, to help victims’ families identifying bodies and arrange burials, list students martyred in colleges and universities, identify law enforcement agency members and others involved in killings and create pressures on university administrations to reopen their respective halls and campuses.   

In the eight-point call, they also urged students studying aboard to publicise the crackdown and killing of protesters internationally.
