The Freedom of Expression Institute
has condemned in the strongest possible sense acts of police brutality in
protest actions.
This follows the killings of three
people in Mothutlung in the North West during
protest over water shortage.
FXI said people need to exercise the right to
freedom of assembly, demonstration, picket and petition within the parameter of
the law.
FXI Executive Director Phenyo Dean
Butale said they would like to call for caution amongst protesters to remind
them that the constitution runs the right to free expression which says you have a right
to protest.
Butale added that it also requires that the protest
should be done in a peaceful and non-violence manner.
