UFH students in court for public violence relating to #FeesMustFall campaign

Fort Hare University East London campus students say they will boycott the centenary celebration event in Alice if the public violence charges against the 20 students who are appearing in court are not withdrawn today.

The 20 students were arrested during the #Feesmustfall violent protest last year.

Student organisations, which rallied together and marched to the East London Magistrate's Court to show their support were met by police presence and were not allowed within 100m of the court building.

Court is still in session the students are yet to appear.
