Journalists in Bangladesh have held a protest outside the Jashore Press Club following numerous alleged assaults of journalists across several university campuses by Bangladesh Chhatra League leaders and activists. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) condemned the attacks and urged the local authorities to conduct immediate and transparent investigations into the incidents.

On May 24, journalists working at the Jashore University of Science and Technology formed a human chain in front of the Jashore Press Club, protesting attacks against journalists allegedly by members of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), a student political organisation affiliated to the ruling Bangladesh Awami League.
