Students in Barishal held a human chain and protest rally on Monday morning demanding action against alleged sexual harassment by Sujoy Biswas Shubho, former president of the Democratic Student Council’s Barishal University branch. The demonstration took place at the Ashwini Kumar Hall premises, organized by a group identifying themselves as 'angry students of Barishal'. Participants voiced four demands, including a call for an impartial investigation.

Speakers at the rally, including students from Government Brojomohun College, Global Village University, and Barishal University, criticized the organization’s inaction. They said that despite multiple allegations of harassment and victim blaming, no effective investigation committee had been formed and no disciplinary steps had been taken against the accused. The protest concluded with a procession through the city.

The demonstrators urged the student organization to take immediate and neutral measures to ensure accountability and justice for the victims.
