Act tough against killers of Mizanur
Demand 120 NGOs
Failure of the authorities concerned to control stalking of women could cause social disorder, said GAD Alliance, a national platform of 120 NGOs, yesterday, demanding steps to take tough actions against the killers of Natore college teacher Mizanur Rashid.
In a statement, the alliance said, "Stalking has become a major setback for healthy growth of our future generation and women as well."
The statement, issued by Steps Towards Development on behalf of the alliance, said Mizanur Rashid, a chemistry teacher of Lokmanpur College at Bagatipara Upazila, was a strong voice against stalking for which he was killed.
"He has set an example, which has moved to the conscious citizens. We demand punishment to his killers and full protection of his family," it said.
On October 12, two local young men attacked Mizanur, a chemistry teacher of Lokmanpur College at Bagatipara Upazila, for protesting stalking of his college girls. The stalkers ran a motorcycle into the teacher, leaving him critically injured.
After fighting for life for 12 days, he died at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University on October 24.
Unless all come forward to resist the social menace, the social order will be hampered and the women's dignity undermined, it said.
