Nine students of Chittagong University (CU) have been on an indefinite hunger strike demanding the resignation of the proctorial body along with six other demands. By Friday 2 PM, the strike had entered its 50th hour.

So far, three students have been hospitalized due to illness, while the remaining six continue their protest with saline support. On Thursday, the university administration urged the protesters to call off the strike and sit for talks on Sunday, but the students rejected the request.

Their demands include:

Publishing the full list of injured students in recent clashes and ensuring their medical treatment.

Immediate arrangement of proper temporary housing and retrieval of belongings for displaced students.

Guaranteeing safety for identified at-risk students.

Bringing the real perpetrators to justice while stopping harassment of innocent locals.

Forming a joint coordination committee with representatives from all sides, meeting at least once every three months.

Publishing and implementing the syndicate’s resolutions and a roadmap for a safe campus.

Public apology and resignation of the proctorial body for failing in its responsibilities.
