Rumana Monzur, who lost both her eyes following torture by her husband, has demanded justice.
At a press conference at LabAid Specialised Hospital on Tuesday, the Dhaka University teacher described how her husband, Hassan Syed, brutally assaulted her on June 5 at her father's Dhanmondi residence.
Rumana, an assistant professor of international relations, returned home from Chennai, India on Monday.
Quoting doctors, her father Monzur Hossain told reporters at the press conference that his daughter could get back her eyesight only in case of any miracle.
Rumana was sent to Chennai for better treatment as her eyes were badly ruptured by the attack. "Her eyes need multi-disciplinary treatment in a modern eye set-up," chief eye consultant at the hospital Dr Ansarul Huq had said last week.
Rumana, doing a master's degree in Political Science at the Vancouver campus of the University of British Columbia in Canada, said her husband tried to gouge her eyes out and chew her nose off.
On June 15, Hassan was arrested and later grilled in a case filed in connection with the torture.
He claimed she had an extramarital affair with an Iranian man, whom Rumana met in Canada.
She was supposed to submit her thesis paper in October.
