OUTRAGE IN ABERDEEN: STUDENTS PROTEST AFTER KIDNAP OF 12 PEERS
Students at the University of Aberdeen staged a protest on Wednesday following the reported kidnapping of 12 students in an undisclosed location. The protest, which took place outside the university’s King’s College campus, saw hundreds of students demanding urgent action from both local and international authorities.
The demonstration was organized by the university’s Student Union in response to reports of the abduction. Protesters held placards reading, “Bring Them Back” and “Education, Not Fear,” while chanting for justice and intervention.
According to initial reports, the kidnapped students were taken under unclear circumstances, sparking widespread concern. Some protesters expressed frustration over what they perceive as a lack of response from government and security forces. A university spokesperson confirmed that they were aware of the incident and were working closely with relevant authorities to ascertain details.
“We are deeply troubled by these reports. Our priority is the safety and well-being of our students, and we will provide any support necessary,” said the spokesperson.
Student leader Mark Thompson emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, “We cannot remain silent while our fellow students are in danger. We demand swift action to secure their release.”
The protest remained peaceful, with university authorities allowing students to voice their concerns. Local police monitored the gathering but did not report any disturbances.
Meanwhile, international human rights organizations have begun calling for immediate efforts to secure the students’ release. Families of the victims remain in distress, pleading for authorities to act quickly.
As investigations continue, students at the University of Aberdeen vow to sustain their demonstrations until meaningful steps are taken to ensure the safety of their peers. Authorities have yet to provide further updates on the kidnapped students’ whereabout.
