🩸 Buet: Shahbag Spirit's Role in Creating Environment for Abrar Murder

Daily Amar Desh's YouTube transcript details the environment leading to the 2019 murder of Buet student Abrar Fahad by ছাত্রলীগের সন্ত্রাসীরা (Chhatra League terrorists). The report alleges that the creation of this environment involved a ফেসবুক group called "Aripata," known for its Shahbagh support and anti-Islamic views, which identified and targeted students perceived as শিবির (Islamist sympathizers). The transcript further claims that Buet administration officials, including উপাচার্যs (vice-chancellors) and ছাত্র কল্যাণ directors (student welfare directors), were aware of and even facilitated the torture and harassment of students by ছাত্রলীগ between 2012 and 2019. Victim testimonies describe how the administration often ignored or supported ছাত্রলীগ's actions, leading to a culture of impunity and the establishment of torture cells on campus, ultimately culminating in Abrar's tragic death, and calls for accountability extend beyond the convicted murderers to include those in the administration and the Aripata group who allegedly enabled the violence.
