OFFICIAL CLARIFICATION
Some social media handles are claiming that female protesters were subjected to physical assault.
These allegations are baseless and misleading. Female protesters are handled by female staff and are treated with dignity and due regard.
Detentions and releases are carried out in accordance with the applicable law and prescribed procedures. Male protesters who were detained were released within the stipulated time period, following due process of law.
Any claim suggesting otherwise is factually incorrect and does not reflect the actual sequence of events.
