We, the students of the IUT batch 21, are issuing this statement to publicly declare our collective disapproval and formal boycott of Sadman Ahmed Siam (CSE 21) for his actions that, in our view, directly contradict the teachings of Islam, the laws of Bangladesh, and the values of our university.
Sadman Ahmed Siam recently published a Facebook post promoting LGBTQ+ ideology and defending Sahara Hussain, who is allegedly responsible for issuing death threats against two respected educators: Dr. Sorowar Hussain (Assistant Professor, IUB) and Asif Mahtab Utsho (Former Faculty, BRAC University). While we oppose any form of violence, we cannot ignore the gravity of defending such accused individuals, especially alongside endorsement of ideologies forbidden in our religion and legal system.
Promoting LGBTQ+ activities conflicts with the Holy Qur’an, as shown in the story of Prophet Lut (AS) about the people of S***m and Gomorrah, where such acts led to divine punishment. Section 377 of Bangladesh’s Penal Code criminalizes carnal in*******se “against the order of nature,” punishable by imprisonment and fine.
As students of the Islamic University of Technology (IUT), established to serve the Muslim Ummah, we are dedicated to maintaining an environment that reflects Islamic values. We
cannot accept the promotion of ideologies against our deen and the university's vision.
Therefore, we declare a complete boycott of Sadman Ahmed Siam from all batch-related academic, social, and extracurricular activities. This decision is made to uphold the integrity of our faith, constitution, and university goals. We respectfully ask the university administration to seriously review the matter and take appropriate action against this individual.
