The students had initially said they would continue the hunger strike until Hasna Hena was freed, but a group of teachers came to meet with them around 1pm and broke their fast with water. Class nine teacher Hasna Hena was sent to prison in a case over ‘instigating’ the suicide of student Aritry Adhikary. According to the protesters, Hasna Hena only did what she was supposed to as a class teacher, calling the student’s guardians for a meeting with the principal. Unrest broke out at the renowned Dhaka school after Aritry committed suicide at her home in Shantinagar on Dec 3. That night police arrested Hasna Hena.
