Progatishil Chhatra Jote (PCJ) yesterday demanded immediate release of its leaders and activists including the president of its Bangladesh Agriculture University (BAU) unit.

They were arrested on BAU campus on August 22 for protesting the deadly grenade attack on Awami League (AL) rally in the capital on August 21.

The jote made the demand at a press conference at the Dhaka University Journalists' Association office at the Teachers Students Centre.

The PCJ, a combine of the left-leaning student organisations, also demanded immediate withdrawal of all 'false cases' against their leaders and activists.

Meanwhile, 135 teachers of different universities, in a joint statement, have protested the role of BAU authorities and the JCD's attack on the PCJ procession.
