A human chain was held by Dhaka University (DU) teachers, students, and employees on Tuesday in front of Memory Eternal (DU), demanding an international probe committee for genocide of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar’s Rakhine state. The hourlong human chain was held under the banner of “Dhaka University Family” and was presided by Prof Md Akhtaruzzaman, vice chancellor (VC) of Dhaka University. “Rohingya Muslims have lived in Myanmar for thousands of years. We are calling on the world community to take a stand against this crime against humanity,” said Prof Akhtaruzzaman. The vast majority of Rohingya refugees are women, children, and elderly people requiring additional aid and protection.
