DAVAO CITY – The Office of the Student Regent of the University of the Philippines condemned the “violence, disrespect, and abuse of law” allegedly committed by law enforcers after its student delegates were flagged down on Wednesday morning, August 16, while enroute to the venue of a protest action at Freedom Park on Roxas Ave., this city.
Some 173 delegates composed of student council leaders and student journalists from the different campuses of the University of the Philippines System have converged for the 55th General Assembly of Student Councils from August 17 to 19 at the UP-Mindanao here.
Severino lamented how UP Student Council leaders encountered “violence and harassment from the State forces who were hell-bent in preventing us from exercising our rights” of organization and free expression at the freedom park. She said that seven units were intercepted for allegedly being “out of line” in violation of the Republic Act 4136 or the Land Transportation and Traffic Code and one seized for being a “colorum.”
Delegates, however, staged a rally back at the UP-Mindanao campus, according to the student publication.
