Police brutality, under the ruling SLPP government, reared its ugly head again against angry university students who protested in Freetown on Monday.
Sierra Leone citizens have today lost all the semblance of human rights and free expression. The Sierra Leone capital was like a war zone Monday morning when aggrieved IPAM students of the University of Sierra Leone were mobbed by well-armed police personnel leaving many badly wounded with beating marks on their bodies. A female student was particularly manhandled by police officers who pinned her down on the ground and had her clothes ripped off in broad daylight. She was subsequently whisked off in a police vehicle. (Photo: IPAM female student’s wounded body).
