At least 10 people, including student representative Jinia Sharmin, were detained as police baton-charged a protest by terminated NGO teachers in Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, on Wednesday morning. Protesters claimed they were staging a peaceful demonstration on one side of the road, as part of a pre-scheduled program, when NGO staff vehicles became stuck in traffic. Police then intervened with force, leaving several injured. While visiting the injured at a hospital, Jinia and others were detained by police. “Those who have been detained must be released immediately. We will not move until our demands are met,” said a female protester.
