The students also said: “We have taken out a peaceful protest march and sit-in program for 9-point demand, including the unconditional release of the missing, arrested coordinator, general students, withdrawal of the case, end of repression, and justice for the murder of the killed students. But the police obstructed us again and again. They did not give us security and they charged us with sticks.”
