Candle light condolence for Loitam Richard at Chittagong, Bangladesh
A candle light condolence was observed here in our college (University of Science and Technology Chittagong) campus today, 29th april from around 6 pm to 8 pm of Bangladesh time in support of the nation wide "Justice for Richard Loitam" campaign back there in India...This event was organised by the North East Students (Manipur Assam and Tripura) of the college.
All the north easterns turned up followed by students from Jammu and Kashmir and foreign students of Sri Lanka and Nepal along with some parents who are currently here in Chittagong.
Candles were lighted in front of the banner in the pattern "JUSTICE FOR RICHARD" and they maintained a one minute silence with candles in their hand as a tribute to (late) Richard.

After the condolence, the students signed petitions which will be submitted to Assistant high commissioner of India, Chittagong and Sylhet divisions, along with a memorandum condemning the brutal murder and demanding justice for Richard, which he has agreed to pass on to the concerned ministers on today’s earlier meeting with the organisers.
Thus the gathering ended in a smooth way from the support of the fellow richardians here and out there in India, though there were some problems and risks as we are here in a foreign country.
