Statement by the Jaffna University Science Teachers’ Association

Jul 17, 2016

Some unwanted incidents related to the freshers’ welcome party led to violent clashes among the Students today.  Some  students were injured and are being treated in the hospital. As a result, the Science Faculty is closed to the students and all the students are returning to their homes.

We strongly condemn the violent actions of some of the students. We urge all citizens of this country to do all they could to defuse the situation and help all students to resume their studies in the University at the earliest.
