09 Aug 2017
Security staff at the Eastern University
in Batticaloa were attacked by Sinhalese students when a protest
against the university’s administration turned violent on Tuesday,
reports Battinatham.com.
Two of the security staff were hospitalised, including one female member of staff.
The Sinhalese students had reportedly
protested for several days demanding accommodation and for academic
suspensions to be revoked.
Claiming they had been ignored by the
administration, the students blockaded the administration building, and
continue to occupy it, attacking security staff in the process.
Late night security staff reported they
had received further threats from the students and temporarily took
refuge at Eravur police station on Tuesday night.
