Wits protests

Three plain-clothes cops capturing a student. One is looking back at Raymond Tucker who is taking the photo. The baton in the hand of a cop to the left is not being used, perhaps because they knew Raymond was there with his camera. Many photos that were published in the newspapers showed the batons being used to bash students.

Wits protests

A cop carrying the banner and some placards away from the uni. The legs in the top left corner of the photo are of police standing on the grass on university property. The main reason why the students were acquitted after four and a half months was that the police had been trespassing when they arrested the students.

Wits protests

Uniformed cops waiting for the next order to attack. RAU students were still observing from the brewery wall.

Wits protests

Late in the day ten “paddy wagon” police vans and hundreds of uniformed police were brought to the scene.

Wits protests

This picture is taken from the other side of the road, of the part of the lawn that was north of the fire hydrant. By now the protesters had fallen back because of repeated attacks by the police, but there were still more than a thousand protesters. Each time the police attacked, some protesters would stand their ground, while others would run. Each time the police retreated with their quarry, those who had run would move forward again.

Wits protests

Raymond Tucker must have been on the fire hydrant when he took this photo. The cops liked VW Beetles.

Wits protests

There are three batons in this photo. During the trial of the students, which lasted four and a half months, the police and their representatives repeatedly claimed that there had been no batons, even though lots of photos of them bashing students with batons had been published in the newspapers.
