Siperia Mollie, the Guild Representative Council (GRC) of school of Psychology has been attacked and beaten up at Complex Hall inside Makerere University by unknown thugs. She last night found lying unconscious inside her room, her dress was stained in blood. Her property and communication gadgets have been takem away.
Siperia is the female students’ leader who was expelled from the University on Tuesday after she took part in a protest against the unfair tuition policy.
Saasi Marvin, a student’s advocate says Siperia is in a “serious but stable condition.”
“I have passed by hospital to check on Siperia Mollie. In my estimation, she’s in a serious but stable condition. Her minders say she hasn’t said a word since they found her. The Doctors say she’s too traumatised to speak. Her friend has informed me that the last message she received from Mollie was an SOS message reporting that a strange person was pursuing her around Complex Hall inside the University. The first person to see her says he found her lying unconscious in Kasubi, around 1hr after she sent the SOS message. I have been told that the matter has been reported to Police. There was a big team of students keeping close watch over Mollie by the time I left.” Saasi noted.
On another note, the students who were arrested from Makerere and nearby areas during yesterday’s demonstration are still in Police detention. 34 of them including the Guild President, the Guild Speaker, the Security Minister and others are detained at Wandegeya Police Station. Lawyers from Kiiza & Mugisha Advocates who attempted to check on them were denied access. Nevertheless, the students are strong in spirit, and have been heard singing songs of freedom from inside the cells.
