Sejan Shahriar (18-19 session, English department), a Chhatra League activist and son of a heroic freedom fighter from the English department of Chittagong University (CU), was seriously injured in an attack by terrorists from the armed underground organization Islami Chhatra Shibir.

On Sunday, October 26, he had his fourth-year final exam, but before he could enter the exam hall, 8-10 Shibir terrorists took him away at gunpoint from in front of the university’s new arts faculty.

Sejan was taken to the foot of a hill near the university’s Biology Faculty and brutally tortured and hacked to death. The attackers tried to cut the veins in his legs by beating him with rods, hammers and sharp weapons. When people around him came running to Sejan’s pitiful screams, the attackers fled. He is currently undergoing treatment at Chittagong Medical College Hospital with serious injuries.

Sezan’s classmates said he only had two exams left, but his academic career was cut short by the terrorist attack.

CU Chhatra League leaders and activists expressed anger and said that attacks by the secret organization Shibir on Chhatra League activists who believe in the spirit of the Liberation War have now become a regular occurrence.

CU student Rakib said, “Where will this cruelty end? If Sejan has committed any crime, the university administration and law enforcement are there to prosecute him. But in the silence of the administration, Shibir terrorists are openly shedding the blood of Chhatra League workers like this. Even journalists are silent. Are they afraid of Shibir?

Sejan Shahriar is not the first, since the overthrow of Sheikh Hasina’s government in a militant attack last year, the sword of barbarity has fallen on the leaders and activists of the Chhatra League at Chittagong University, like all universities in the country. Awami League supporters, teachers who believed in the spirit of the Liberation War, and leaders and activists of student organizations were brutally attacked. Several Chhatra League activists were killed, and the rest were stopped from their educational careers by the university administration, which supports the war criminal Jamaat-Shibir, by dismissing teachers and expelling students.

Numerous leaders and activists of Chhatra League have been injured by the mob violence of the secret organization Shibir, and have been paralyzed for life. There is no remedy for this cruelty. Although the general students are angry, they are silent for fear of the secret organization Shibir.

Ordinary students of Chittagong University have raised the question, “Under whose umbrella are the terrorists of the secret organization Shibir so reckless? Is being a Chhatra League activist a crime?”

This brutal torture of Sejan Shahriar reminds former student leaders of the old bloody history of the secret organization Shibir on the Chittagong University campus. Shibir has shed the blood of hundreds of Chhatra League and leftist organization activists on this campus and has brutally murdered them.
