The Anti-discrimination Student Movement has announced their next course of action programme.

Rifat Rashed, Abdul Hannan Masud and Mahin Sarker, 3 coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement, held the briefing on Saturday evening, in the background of three of their fellow leaders of the movement having been picked up and taken into custody by police from hospital on Thursday. After the briefing it was learned that two more leaders had been picked up today.

After the press briefing, coordinator Abdul Hannan Masud told UNB that all students including former social service secretary of DUCSU Akhtar Hossain who were picked by law enforcement agencies should be released and false cases should be withdrawn by tomorrow.

Besides, visible action should be taken against all those responsible, from the ministerial level to the constable involved in the student massacre. If not, the anti-discrimination student movement will be forced to take a tough programme starting tomorrow, he added.

According to Masud, graffiti and wall writing programs will be held tomorrow on walls across the country.

From July 29, a ‍‍`Health Force‍‍` will be formed in every educational institution, district, upazila, and city-centered area across Bangladesh to prepare a complete list of the injured and dead, and provide psychological and financial support to the victims families. "As well as a ‍‍`Legal Force‍‍` to be formed to document numerous false and deliberate cases across the country and provide legal assistance to those who need it," he added

In this case, the local unit will coordinate with the Central Committee of Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, he further stated.
