On the evening of August 14, we deliberate {that a} group of feminine docs and college students from the hospital would march until Shyambazar to affix the “reclaim the evening” procession. They had been about to go away, when a big mob gathered outdoors the hospital.
Police didn’t cease them and, quickly, most of them – all armed with sticks and rods – had been inside. We ran for our life, so did some policemen.The mob then began attacking the households of sufferers and lots of of them had been harm. They focused the protesting docs and several other of us had been injured.
We one way or the other ran for canopy after an preliminary try to cease them. They attacked everybody who got here in entrance of them.
The stage, chairs, and followers had been vandalized. The mob barged into a number of wards and the women’ hostel, inflicting important injury and destruction.
All of us scattered and started hiding in numerous areas, making communication with one another troublesome. There have been reviews that one other mob, numbering round 3,000 individuals, was approaching our hospital. It was scary.
Police failed to supply any kind of help, with officers working for his or her life. If they cannot shield themselves, how can we even count on them to guard us?
However all we wish to say is that regardless of such makes an attempt to crush our motion, we won’t cease.
