Protest Against Fee Increases

The JNU students union has accused the administration of forcing students to pay increased fees ahead of registration for the winter semester, despite JNU announcing a "major rollback" in November after massive protests against a fee hike

The CPI(M) Politburo on Tuesday condemned the police action against JNU students who were protesting against the recently announced hike in hostel fees and said the fee increase was to ensure that the university becomes "elitist".

South African police fired stun grenades at students who lit fires outside President Jacob Zuma's offices following a week of protests, the first signs of the post-apartheid 'Born Free' generation flexing its muscle.
