Tear gas. Baton charge. All against students marching towards Parliament to demand answers about their future.
What is the government afraid of?
These young people are not criminals. They are students demanding accountability, transparency and protection from paper leaks, recruitment delays and repeated broken promises.
Instead of addressing their concerns, authorities have been accused of responding with force. Visuals and accounts from the protest have triggered outrage, though the precise circumstances and claims surrounding the police action require independent verification.
A democracy should not fear questions from its students. When peaceful dissent is met with barricades, tear gas or batons, the issue goes beyond one protest it raises serious concerns about the space available for democratic expression.
History will remember those who stood with young people seeking justice and those who attempted to silence them.
Students marched for accountability, transparency and a secure future not confrontation.
Reports and visuals alleging the use of tear gas and batons have sparked outrage. A democracy must answer its students with dialogue, not force.
