ছাত্রীকে প্রকাশ্যেই ধর্ষণের চেষ্টা শিক্ষকের


ছাত্রীকে প্রকাশ্যেই ধর্ষণের চেষ্টা শিক্ষকের

প্রকাশ্য দিবালোকে সবার সামনেই এক ছাত্রীকে ধর্ষণ করার চেষ্টা করছেন শিক্ষক। পরে অন্য শিক্ষকদের সহায়তায় ওই ছাত্রীকে উদ্ধার করা হয়। ঘটনাটি ঘটেছে সোমবার চীনের জুয়ানজি প্রদেশে।
জানা গেছে, হুঁয় (৩০) নামের ওই শিক্ষক স্কুল ক্যাম্পাসেই অন্যান্য ছাত্র-ছাত্রীর সামনেই ছাত্রীটিকে ধর্ষণ করার চেষ্টা চালায়। সেই শিক্ষককে পরবর্তীতে তার সহকর্মীরা ছাত্রীটির কাছ থেকে তাকে সরিয়ে নেয়। ঘটনায় ছাত্রীটি তেমন কোনো আঘাত না পেলেও প্রচণ্ড ভীত হয়ে পড়ে।
পরে পুলিশে খবর দিলে তারা অভিযুক্ত শিক্ষকের পরিবারকে ডেকে আনে। পরিবার হুঁয়কে চিকিৎসা করাতে হাসপাতালে নিয়ে যায়। পুলিশ ঘটনার তদন্ত করে দেখছে। প্রত্যক্ষদর্শীরা জানান, ছাত্রীটিকে পেছন দিক থেকে শক্ত করে ধরে হুঁয়। তারপর তাকে দেয়ালের সাথে ঠেলতে থাকে। স্কুলের ল্যাবরেটরি শিক্ষক হিসেবে কাজ করত হুঁয়। ধারণা করা হচ্ছে তিনি মানসিকভাবে অসুস্থ।
২০১১ সালে মানসিক চিকিৎসা গ্রহণ করে হুঁয়। ২ বছর পরে তাকে সুস্থ হিসেবে ঘোষণা করা হলে তিনি কাজে ফেরেন। গত ৫ বছর যাবৎ হুঁয় ভালোভাবেই কাজ করছিল। তবে তাকে মূল শ্রেণিতে শিক্ষকতা করতে দেওয়া হতো না।

The Palisades

Year Listed: 2014
Location: Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey
Threat: Development

Significance

The Palisades has been cherished by the nation and residents of New York and New Jersey for generations.
The historic landscape not only provides stellar views but also tells a culturally significant Native American story, as multiple tribes, including the Sanhikan, Hackensack, Raritan, and Tappan nations used the cliffs as shelter from adverse weather for centuries. When new quarries and other development atop the cliffs threatened to degrade the landscape in the late 19th century, the Palisades became the focus of some of the country’s earliest conservation and protection efforts.

LG Electronics has proposed building an eight story, 143 foot high office tower next to the Palisades that would spoil the scenic view of the New Jersey cliffs along the Hudson River. Litigation and state legislation in New Jersey to protect the Palisades arose after the town of Englewood Cliffs, N.J., granted a variance to LG to build the office tower that would visually mar the historic Palisades landscape. If construction of the LG tower goes forward, it would represent the first breach of the viewshed in the 100-year history of protecting the Palisades north of the George Washington Bridge.

Union Terminal

Year Listed: 2014
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
Threat: Deterioration


Significance

Union Terminal, an iconic symbol of Cincinnati and one of the most significant Art Deco structures in the country, was designed by the firm of Alfred Fellheimer and Steward Wagner, with Paul Cret, in 1933. Union Terminal is a National Historic Landmark and one of the country’s last remaining grand-scale Art Deco railroad terminals.  The massive 180 foot wide and 106 foot tall rotunda, today the second largest half dome in the world, features glass mosaic murals by Winold Reiss depicting the history of Cincinnati and the United States. Today, Union Terminal is suffering from deterioration and water damage. The building is facing a critical point in its existence, and is in need of extensive repairs. 

Union Terminal is owned by the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.  As the Cincinnati Museum Center, the largest cultural institution in the city, Union Terminal receives more than 1.4 million visitors a year and houses the Cincinnati History Museum, Cincinnati History Library and Archives, Duke Energy Children’s Museum, Museum of Natural History and Science, and the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX Theater.

Watch Status: Federal Historic Tax Credit

Year Listed: 2014
Location: *United States
Threat: Public Policy

Significance

The federal historic tax credit was created to attract private sector investment to the rehabilitation of America’s historic buildings. It offers developers a tax credit if a rehabilitation project retains the building’s historic character. The result is new life for the nation’s historic mills, warehouses, theaters and more—resources that would continue to sit vacant and dilapidated if not for the credit.

Since being signed into law by President Reagan, the federal historic tax credit has attracted $109 billion to the rehabilitation of nearly 40,000 historic commercial buildings in the U.S., creating 2.4 million jobs and sparking downtown revitalization nationwide. Now, there is a proposal in Congress to eliminate it in the context of tax reform, jeopardizing the potential reuse of historic buildings like these throughout the country.

Shockoe Bottom

Year Listed: 2014
Location: Richmond, Virginia
Threat: Development


Significance

Shockoe Bottom was a center of the African slave trade between 1830 and 1865 -- over 350,000 slaves were traded there. The area held slave jails, auction houses and businesses participating in the enslavement of thousands of men, women and children. Among the most notorious places in Shockoe Bottom was Goodwin’s Jail, where Solomon Northup, whose life was chronicled in the movie, "12 Years a Slave," was held after being kidnapped.

Shockoe Bottom is threatened by potential development of a minor league baseball stadium. Shockoe Bottom’s invaluable resources cannot be seen – none of the buildings from the slave trade remain visible in these eight-blocks, and the artifacts of antebellum Richmond are now below the surface, out of sight. Shockoe Bottom should be protected as a site of conscience, a place that offers the public a chance to experience, and learn from, this dark chapter in American history. A path forward for Shockoe Bottom should include meaningful public involvement and expert archeological analysis so that the historical remnants of the slave trade now buried there can be seen and properly interpreted.

Palladium Building

Year Listed: 2014
Location: St. Louis, Missouri
Threat: Neglect

Significance

Advertised as the largest club of its kind in St. Louis in the 1940s, the venue featured three floor shows each night featuring African American jazz musicians and orchestras. Over the years, many well-known national artists performed there including Nat King Cole, Jimmie Lunceford, the Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, and Benny Carter. St. Louis’ contributions to American music reveal a legacy greater and more significant than previously understood, and the Palladium is a central part of this story.

The Palladium is one of St. Louis’s last remaining buildings with a link to the city’s significant music history. Palladium faces an uncertain future because it is not protected by local or national historic designations and, because of its location, is not covered by the City’s demolition review ordinance. Vacant for many years, increased awareness of the Palladium’s plight would add momentum to the work already underway by Landmarks Association of St. Louis and Friends of the Palladium Building to formally recognize the building’s historic significance and identify a path forward for this important cultural landmark.
