After a human chain protest on Saturday titled “Rise in Red,” technical education students announced a nationwide mass gathering on Sunday to demand their six-point charter. Demonstrators chanted slogans such as “Blood is burning,” “Abu Sayeed Mugdha, the war isn’t over,” “Builders of the nation, rise once again,” and “Why the attack in Cumilla? We demand answers.” On Friday, students had marched in protest wearing white shrouds around their heads, symbolizing their readiness for sacrifice.
