Two students of the University of the West Indies have appeared in the Tunapuna Magistrates' Court charged with using obscene language, blocking a main thoroughfare, and resisting arrest. The incident took place during a protest at the UWI St. Augustine campus on Thursday. The students were protesting a lack of security on the compound. The two students, Nathanael John and Brian Richards, were arrested after they allegedly tried to prevent officers from reopening the University's Southern gates to traffic. They are both members of the Student Guild Council, and secured bail at around 11pm on Thursday. They are represented by the Member of Parliament for St. Augustine, Prakash Ramadhar. Meanwhile, the Police Complaints Authority has received a complaint about the conduct of police officers during the protest at the University of the West Indies that resulted in the arrest of the two students. The PCA says it received the complaint via the PCA Mobile App. It says based on the complaint, the PCA has begun an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. In this regard, the Authority is asking for any witnesses, or persons with information on/or regarding the incident to kindly contact the PCA at: 800-2PCA/800-2722, or 627-4383/4386. The PCA can also be reached at [email protected] and www.facebook.com/PoliceComplaintsAuthority
