Statement from CDU Vice-Chancellor Professor Scott Bowman on behalf of the CDU community
Charles Darwin University student Md Isfaqur Rahman (Sifat) has died from his injuries after a violent attack in his home Wednesday morning.
On behalf of the entire University, we extend our deepest sympathies to Sifat’s family and friends. Also, to our Bangladeshi Student Association, who is one of our most active and passionate student groups.
Sifat was completing his Master of Engineering, and was an active member of CDU’s international student community.
This is very difficult news to process. We open our city and University to international students with the promise of a safe and supportive environment characterised by enduring friendships, meaningful education and training, and prosperous careers.
To know that these opportunities have been senselessly ripped away from one of our students is deeply distressing.
The University is continuing to provide support to our entire CDU community, in particular our international students.
For those who want to help, we have established an appeal in Sifat’s name, and we will work with the family on how donations are spent.
