Dhaka, April 30 -- Some students from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) are calling for urgent action following a distressing cycle of death threats and cyberbullying allegedly by members of the Islami Chhatra Shibir and extremist groups. These threats have targeted students vocal about the group's incitement to violence and ideological brainwashing, they said.

They referred to arrests of 24 BUET students affiliated with Islami Chhatra Shibir for allegedly planning subversive activities. Despite the charges, these students continue to attend classes and reside in the university dormitories, raising concerns among their peers, the students said.
