The arrest of the group known as Gen Zs by the National Police Service (NPS) while they were passing in front of Parliament has sparked significant attention and controversy.
According to witnesses, the group, consisting mainly of young activists, was peacefully protesting when the police intervened.
The reasons for their demonstration are said to be linked to recent legislative decisions that have drawn widespread public dissent.
Videos circulating on social media show a heavy police presence and the use of force to disperse the demonstrators.
Eyewitnesses report that several members of Gen Zs were forcibly detained and taken into police custody.
This has raised concerns among human rights organizations, who argue that the actions of the NPS are a violation of the protesters’ rights to free speech and assembly.
Public reaction has been swift, with many taking to social media to express their outrage and demand the release of the detained activists.
The hashtag #FreeGenZs has begun trending, highlighting the growing support for the group’s cause and increasing pressure on authorities to address the situation transparently and justly.
