Anti-Discrimination Student Movement has announced a “Resistance Week” starting Tuesday to press home their four-point demand that includes the trial of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

As part of the campaign, students gathered with various placards in front of the Raju Memorial Sculpture at Dhaka University at 3pm on Tuesday.

They observed a one-minute silence in memory of the martyrs, followed by prayers and memorial services. The programme includes a nationwide road march towards locations where the national heroes embraced martyrdom.

The four new demands of the Anti-Discrimination Students' Movement are as follows:

1. A special tribunal must be formed to ensure the swift trial of Sheikh Hasina, other key figures in her political party and her administration for orchestrating "massacres" under the fascist framework.

2. Swift legal proceedings against the attacks on minorities carried out by Awami League and its affiliates in the wake of Sheikh Hasina’s fall as premier to stigmatise the student-led movement demanding her ouster. Furthermore, the rightful demands of minorities must be acknowledged.

3. Immediate removal and prosecution of those in the administration and judiciary who legitimised attacks and cases against the students and mass people during the protests, and who repeatedly attempted to establish a fascist regime.

4. Equal opportunities must be ensured soon for those who have been victims of discrimination within the administration and judiciary.
