Justice for Aritry Adhikary

On December 3, 2018, Aritry was found hanging from the ceiling of her home, hours after she and her parents were allegedly insulted by some teachers of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College for using a mobile phone during examinations. The next day, her father filed a case with police, accusing three teachers of provoking Aritry's suicide. Recently, a Dhaka court issued an arrest warrant for the suspended acting principal, along with the accused teacher. Such cases of students being humiliated by teachers is nothing new, and neither are the suicides that tend to result from them, unfortunately. I hope the arrest serves as an example for everyone so we no longer have to lose anyone to such heart-wrenching causes.
