Islami Chhatra Shibir has announced a four-day protest program in response to the suspension of the Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) Central Students’ Union (ShakSU) election. The announcement was made Monday evening through the organization’s verified Facebook page. The program includes human chains and protest marches across campuses and metropolitan areas on Tuesday, district-level marches on Wednesday, upazila-level marches on January 22, and a final protest in Dhaka on January 23.

Earlier on Monday, the group held a protest march in the capital demanding that the ShakSU election be held on schedule and condemning what it described as a conspiracy to derail the process. The rally, organized by Dhaka Metropolitan Shibir, began at the Central Shaheed Minar and concluded with a gathering at Shahbagh. The march was led by central publicity secretary Azizur Rahman Azad and attended by several central leaders including international secretary Mu’tasim Billah Shahedi and publication secretary and Daksu VP Sadiq Kayem.

The series of demonstrations underscores the group’s opposition to the election postponement and its demand for timely implementation of the student council vote.
