Students of Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) staged a mask march on Tuesday, wearing masks featuring the portrait of Professor Dr Abu Sadat Mohammad Sayem, as their protests entered the eighth day.

The march began from the university's Central Shaheed Minar at around 2:30 PM and ended at the same place after parading the Independence Square. Students chanted slogans demanding Sayem's reinstatement as vice-chancellor.

Students, teachers, officers and employees also continued their sit-in programme and shutdown. Teachers, officers and employees have been observing a work stoppage for four consecutive days.

Students also staged a protest march around midnight, alleging that various groups were putting pressure on and threatening participants in the movement and their families.

They demanded cancellation of the appointment of Professor Dr Shariful Alam as vice-chancellor and the reinstatement of Professor Dr Abu Sadat Mohammad Sayem.
