After 52 hours of continuous protest, nine Chittagong University students ended their hunger strike on Friday afternoon after Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. Muhammad Yahya Akhter personally assured them that their demands would be addressed.

At 4 PM, the students broke their fast by drinking sherbet offered by the VC in front of the Proctor’s office.

The seven demands included: publishing a list of injured students from the recent clashes, ensuring advanced medical care, securing housing for displaced students, recovering their belongings, protecting identified vulnerable students, bringing perpetrators to justice, halting harassment of innocent locals, forming a joint coordination committee with quarterly meetings, and implementing the syndicate’s roadmap for a safer campus.
