MDs: Wounded student won’t get eyesight back (domestic assault)
VANCOUVER — A University of British Columbia student who was severely beaten during a trip home to Bangladesh won’t see again despite four surgeries by Canadian doctors attempting to restore her eyesight, the university said Monday.

Rumana Monzur, a 33-year-old graduate student, was home in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in early June when her eyes were gouged and her face disfigured. Her husband is now in custody.

She returned to Vancouver earlier this month hoping experts here could restore at least some of her vision, but the school said in a statement released Monday that Monzur’s injuries "were found to be beyond repair" and the surgeries were unsuccessful.

Monzur, a Fulbright scholar and mother of a young girl, returned home for a visit when she was attacked June 5. Her eyes were gouged and her nose bitten.
