The White Panel, a group of Dhaka University teachers, has issued a strong statement condemning the murder of student leader Shahriar Alam Samyo. "He was a fearless fighter for people’s rights—killed in his own campus. What kind of country are we creating?" the statement read. They demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators. The group alleged that this murder, especially amid growing calls for a national election, could be part of a larger conspiracy to destabilize the country. They urged authorities to identify and bring the killers to justice within 24 hours.
