Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Sixteen (16) University of Zimbabwe (UZ) students who were arrested on Monday in connection with demonstrations against tuition fee hikes have all been released.<\/p>\n

UZ recently increased undergraduate fees to between ZWL$300 000 and ZWL$500 000, up from ZWL$50 000, while some Master\u2019s degree programme tuition fees were increased to close to ZWL$1 million.<\/p>\n

The Students\u2019 Representative Council (SRC) leader, Allan Chipoyi said the 16 students were all released. He said:<\/p>\n

Since Monday, police have been looking for the organisers of the demonstration that happened and they arrested 16 students who have so far been freed.<\/p>\n

Two of the students, Thelma Nzero (19) and Tinotenda Mwenje (21) appeared before Harare Magistrate, Taurai Manuwere and were remanded out of custody to 29 September.<\/p>\n

The two, who were among 14 suspects that were detained at Avondale Police Station, were released on free bail Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Their alleged accomplices were released on Tuesday after paying ZWL$2 000 admission of guilty fines at the police station for disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, police arrested five more UZ students on Wednesday as they continued their search for the organisers of the Monday protests at the Mt Pleasant Campus.<\/p>\n
