Three HSC examinees get bail

Three HSC examinees arrested during the quota reform movement have secured bail with the assistance of the education ministry, said the ministry in a press release on Thursday.

The Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court granted the bail, and the students would soon return to their families after their release from jail, it said.

The ministry noted that no one can be called a defendant before charges are pressed against them, and their names may be dropped from the charges.

Previously, the ministry announced it had appointed three lawyers to provide legal aid to the three students in police custody, according to the press release.
