Supporters of Bangladesh Sadharan Chhatra Odhikar Songrokkhon Parishad have staged a demonstration in the capital's Shahbagh in protest of the brutal torture on a Noakhali housewife and recording the video. 

The demonstrators blocked the road in Shahbagh, formed a human chain, from where they demanded bringing all the culprits under trial immediately.

"Rape incidents in the country are nothing new. We have to stand against those who are patronising rapists in the country," Dhaka University Central Students' Union vice president Nurul Haque Nur.

The video shows four youths stripping the woman while she was weeping and repeatedly begging them to stop.

What we know so far about the incident
