Some 33 students of UCC were arrested at KNUST over the weekend
Members of the Economic Fighters League – UCC Command, are calling for the release of some 33 students of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) who were arrested over the weekend at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology campus (KNUST).
The suspects were rounded up at the university during the climax of a hall week celebration by students of the Unity Hall of KNUST.
The police said the suspects failed to explain why they were on the campus at midnight when they were rounded up and, thus, transferred to the Regional CID in Kumasi.
Fighters UCC, in a statement, said they view “this act as one of the numerous cases of suppression of the students, and we condemn it, unreservedly.”
“This act is consistent with the indemnity clause in the Sakawa Constitution where the officers’ faction of the indigenous bourgeoisie class oppresses civilians with impunity,” the statement said.
