Some BUET students demand action against extremist threats

Some students from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) have made a call for taking urgent action following a distressing cycle of death threats and cyberbullying allegedly by members of the Islami Chhatra Shibir and extremist groups, reports UNB.
These threats have targeted students vocal about the group's incitement to violence and ideological brainwashing, they said.
They referred to arrests of 24 BUET students affiliated with Islami Chhatra Shibir for allegedly planning subversive activities. Despite the charges, these students continue to attend classes and reside in the university dormitories, raising concern among their peers, the students said.
While speaking to media at Shaheed Minar on the campus, the affected students detailed the ongoing harassment they face, including social media vilification and direct death threats.
