JAHANGIRNAGAR UNIVERSITY, Nov 16, 2025 (BSS) - Jahangirnagar University unit of Jatiya Chhatra Shakti tonight held a torch procession demanding the maximum punishment for ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, accusing her of mass killings and crimes against humanity.

The procession started around 8:00 pm from the Bottola area of the campus and concluded at the Adommo 24 monument following a brief rally.

Addressing the rally, Zia Uddin Ayaan, an organiser of the JU Chhatra Shakti unit, alleged that general students were subjected to brutal attacks during the 2024 student-led mass movement and that Sheikh Hasina's government had carried out the repression and killings. 

He also noted that after the change of government, an International Crimes Tribunal was formed to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the alleged atrocities. 

Based on petitions from victims' families, five charges were filed against Sheikh Hasina, with the tribunal set to deliver its verdict tomorrow.

Expressing solidarity with the programme, Zahidul Islam Emon, president of JU Chhatra Union, said, "Sheikh Hasina must be brought back and face the maximum punishment. This will serve as a warning to future rulers against authoritarianism."
