Some placards held by the demonstrators read:
"Good-governance regime, answer for the sacrifice of this student's life!"
"This schoolboy today, who else tomorrow?"
"Have we not lost enough lives for our rights?"
"Did the good-governance regime not understand what this student understood?"
"The school student today, who tomorrow?"
