Police Brutally Attack JNU Students
Thousands of students from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi, India, who were marching to parliament to protest the massive hike in hostel fees were detained and baton-charged, leaving some of them grievously injured yesterday. The students continued their march but were stopped at many places. The protesters said they would not relent until the government withdrew the fee hike. Officer-bearers of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU) were detained and taken to an undisclosed location.
There was massive police deployment near the university in a bid to prevent the students from marching.
“Twelve of us have been put in a bus and been taken to unknown location because we were peacefully marching for our right to education,” Aishe Ghosh, president of JNUSU posted on Facebook.
