Badrul Islam, the father of Nahid Islam, one of the organizers, confirmed their release to this paper, stating that his son and five other students were released around 1:30 pm.

"I am taking my son home now," he said. "I got a call early this morning from the DB office, asking me to come and pick up my son."

Our photographer at the scene saw the students leaving the DB office on Minto Road in the capital in a black microbus.

In addition to Nahid, the detectives had picked up Asif Mahmud, Abu Baker Majumder, Hasnat Abdullah, Sarjis Alam, and Nusrat Tabassum between Friday and Sunday. The DB claimed they were kept in custody "to ensure their security."
