Kampala Metropolitan spokesperson, Mr Patrick Onyango said four of the nine suspects are students from Kyambogo University while the rest were allegedly hired to take part in what he called an illegal protest.<\/p>\n

\u201cA group of youths who are in support of the recent EU resolution on the construction of the oil pipeline to Tanzania staged an illegal demonstration near EU offices in Kampala. The protestors did not seek police clearance. We arrested nine suspects of which only four are students and the other five were hired to come and demonstrate,\u201dMr Onyango said.<\/p>\n

According to him the demonstrators will be charged with inciting violence.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: A group of university students has been blocked and some arrested, as they marched to EU offices in Kampala to deliver a petition in support of the EU Parliament resolution to halt the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project.#MonitorUpdates<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are charging them with inciting violence and their file is currently being processed. They have recorded statements,\u201d Mr Onyango told this publication on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Their arrest comes just a week after a group of students under their umbrella body, Uganda National Students Association (UNSA) guarded by police, marched around Kampala streets protesting the September 16 EU.<\/p>\n
