UJ students to seek interdict against private security
Human rights organisation Access to Justice will file an application at the High Court in Johannesburg on Monday, in a bid to interdict private security at the University of Johannesburg.
The rights organisation will file the application on behalf of protesting UJ students.
Students want to interdict private security personnel from acting outside of the law during student protests.
It comes after students and journalists were attacked by private security officers during protests at UJ last week.
Students are demanding free higher education.
Access to Justice lawyer Tracey Lomax says: "We are in the process of bringing an application on behalf of University of Johannesburg students in order to interdict private security from behaving unlawfully in the handling of student protests."
