The University of Cape Town’s Student Representative Council (SRC) says the two students arrested on charges of contravening a court order and public violence were wrongfully detained.

The University of Cape Town’s Student Representative Council says the two students arrested on charges of contravening a court order and public violence were wrongfully detained. They were arrested outside the Kramer Law lecture rooms.

“The police continued to push us out until they put off a stun grenade without any warning. Obviously, students ran in fear not knowing if it was a gunshot or teargas. As we moved back trying to understand why students were being pushed out of a building, they were told to stay in, we found out that two of the students were arrested. They didn’t do anything wrong except try to help students who were getting trampled on,” SRC Residence Co-ordinator Kumkani Goqoza elaborates.
