'Spreading Rumours': 3 more students held under sec 57

So far 97 detained in Dhaka alone


Three more students were arrested yesterday, in the latest actions against quota and road safety protesters, although police have yet to arrest any of the thugs who attacked demonstrators and journalists during the protests.
The three were held under the controversial section 57 of the ICT act over “spreading rumour and sharing provocative posts” on social media.

Eden College student and quota reform leader Lutfun Nahar Luma, 21, was picked up from Sirajganj in a pre-dawn raid. Nazmus Sakib, 24, a student of the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB), was held from the capital while Ahmed Hossain, 19, of Jamia Nuria Madrasa, from Kamrangirchar.
