Teachers protest
NZPA-Reuter Dhaka Teachers at a top college in Bangladesh staged a protest strike yesterday after the police stormed into classrooms in clashes with students that injured 70 people, said a teachers’ spokesman. He said the police entered Dhaka College and beat students at random. Several were taken into custody but later released.
The police said they were looking for students who had attacked them with home-made bombs and stones and tried to set fire to a police van. The students rioted after a cinema refused them free admission, said the police. The college principal, Abul Hossain, said: “The fact remains that the police entered the sacred precincts of the college without any authority.”
