Police Tear Gas Protesting UNZA Students
University of Zambia (UNZA) students this afternoon staged a protest demanding the release of their fellow students who had been arrested by police on Thursday evening this week.
The students on Thursday had staged a protest to press University management to allow them to remain at the campus over the festive holiday an action which resulted in the arrest of some of students.
A check by Qfm news crew that rushed to Campus this afternoon found the students had set tires on fire along the Great East Road.
The Great East Road was closed for about an hour before the Police in riot gear thwart the students’ protest by firing tear gas.
It is however not clear how many students of those that were arrested on Thursday after they staged a protest are still under police custody.
A comment from Police spokesperson Charity Munganga proved futile by broadcast time when contacted as her phoned remain unanswered.

the students are protesting in order for their fellow students,who were arrested during a protest,to be released…maybe protesting and burning of tyres is not a good solution at all.Come-guys,you are lowering your credibility.

their beheviour is irrational, why disturbing innocent motorists. Students should dialogue with ukwa boys. Bembas say “umutobwa to mya ukulu

I agree with Peace,many of u condeming students have never been at a university before and some of u are commenting out of jealousy because you will never in your life go to unza. If u have been to unza,u would have knwn that protests are the very last option for students. Like it or not,unza is the best n if u have never been there,then u are not a man enough.
