2 JU journalists to go abroad for treatment

 
Mehedi Mamun, a postgraduate student at the department of English of Jahangirnagar University (JU) and campus correspondent at Daily Bonik Barta, is preparing to go abroad for better treatment with a hope to get recovery from around 50 pellet injuries received during July movement.

He was injured in police firing during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement at Jahangirnagar University and was treated for a long time in different hospitals in the country.

But all pellets in his body could not be retrieved causing tormentous pain for him.

The doctors advised him to go abroad for better treatment. Abdur Rahman Sarjil, a student of Media and Journalism Studies department and university correspondent of Dainik Bangla, also received about 50 pellets in his body. Sometimes he became incapacitated because of severe physical pain.
 Students of Jahangirnagar University (JU) played one of the leading roles during the student movement against the dictatorial
government ignoring all fears.

With professional zeal students cum journalists of Jahangirnagar University actively participated in the uprising.

Working journalists in the campus had to face endless intimidation from the Chhatra League and the pro-AL administration while performing their professional duties. But they did not stop and covered all news of the movement by staying on the front line and constantly providing the agitators with different information.

JU journalists were the first to be injured as they were on the front lines when students were attacked by the Chhatra League activists and the police on July 15 midnight.
