SAVAR, Nov 02: Mehedi Mamun, a postgraduate student at the department of English of Jahangirnagar University (JU) and campus correspondent at Daily Bonik Barta, is preparing to go abroad for better treatment with a hope to get recovery from around 50 pellet injuries received during July movement.

He was injured in police firing during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement at Jahangirnagar University and was treated for a long time in different hospitals in the country.

But all pellets in his body could not be retrieved causing tormentous pain for him. The doctors advised him to go abroad for better treatment.

Abdur Rahman Sarjil, a student of Media and Journalism Studies department and university correspondent of Dainik Bangla, also received about 50 pellets in his body. Sometimes he became incapacitated because of severe physical pain.

Students of Jahangirnagar University (JU) played one of the leading roles during the student movement against the dictatorial government ignoring all fears.

With professional zeal students cum journalists of Jahangirnagar University actively participated in the uprising.

Working journalists in the campus had to face endless intimidation from the Chhatra League and the pro-AL administration while performing their professional duties.

But they did not stop and covered all news of the movement by staying on the front line and constantly providing the agitators with different information.

JU journalists were the first to be injured as they were on the front lines when students were attacked by the Chhatra League activists and the police on July 15 midnight.

During that terrible night, Chhatra League activists attacked agitating students in front of the vice-chancellor residence, injuring many students and journalists.

At that time Mehedi Mamun and Abdur Rahman Sarjil were fatally injured by teargas and pellets of shotgun fired by police. They have not yet been recovered even after taking long treatment.

Recalling that horrific time Mehedi Mamun said, a protest rally was scheduled on July 15 evening as part of nationwide protest of anti-discrimination student movement. But the armed leaders and activists of BCL JU unit attacked on their procession. The protesters staged a sit-in programme in front of VC residence demanding justice. BCL leaders and activists attacked them again together with the armed outsiders.    —BSS
