R2K Criticises Police Over Mothutlung Deaths

The Right2Know (R2K) campaign says the deaths of four people in Mothutlung is ‘a symptom’ of increasing police brutality and growing attacks on the right to protest.
 
In a press statement, the organisation points out that, "Too often media, civil society and government pay attention to the plight of the poor only once streets are barricaded and property destroyed."
 
The organisation further states that it supports calls made by various organisations to demilitarise the police, as it believes that this is driving greater police violence, including against protesters.
