BNF condemns police brutality

“This is painful and the brutality used by the police is uncalled for.  Picketing is an internationally accepted means of expressing disenchantment within democratic systems.  However, the behaviour of the police this afternoon was appalling and indefensible.  First, it was a clear assault at media freedom and the government of Botswana should be exposed for this intolerable attitude,” said the BNF vice president Prince Dibeela in a statement yesterday.

Dibeela said they are most upset at the provocation and violence meted against the youth.
