MEDICAL students who failed their first-year exams plan to continue their protest against the University of Health Science despite government warnings of stiff crackdowns on further demonstrations.
The students say the government is trying to intimidate them after officials threatened legal action against students who continue to cause “disorder in the public places”.
“This is intimidation to us,” said student representative Keo Moly after a government press conference Friday. “We fear for our safety.”
However, she said students would continue to protest.
The students have been at an impasse with university and government officials since earlier this month, when more than half the students failed
their first-year exams.
