Thirty nine HNDE students have been arrested during a protest in front of the University Grants Commission in Colombo this afternoon (29).

Among them are two monks and five female students.

Five students and a policeman have been hospitalized.

Police used teargas and water canons to disperse the protesters.

They baton-charged the students who engaged in a sit-down protest at Lipton Circus demanding release of the arrested students.
