Human rights group Suaram has expressed dismay after a public university rejected its bid to hold an exhibition about a custodial death victim after university authorities purportedly deemed it “sensitive” and “anti-government”.

This is especially since Suaram has worked to gain approval of its lecturers, faculty, and the use of a hall, only to be informed of the Student Development and Alumni Affairs Division’s (BHEPA) rejection yesterday – two days before the exhibition was scheduled to take place.
