Women bodies demand justice over Noakhali rape

A platform of women organisations today demanded arrest and exemplary punishment of all the accused in the Noakhali gang-rape case.

They also demanded punishment of abusers across the country and urged country’s women to build up a movement for the sake of rights.

The demand came from a protest rally under the banner of Bam Gonotantrik Nari Songhoton Somohoho held in front of the Jatiya Press Club.

“We hope that the arrests will not be an eyewash and the offenders will be given exemplary punishment,” said Runa Noor, member of Communist Party of Bangladesh.

Shampa Basu, general secretary of Samajtantrik Mohila Forum, claimed that 10 children were raped and killed post-election and police could not arrest all the culprits.
