“The students were celebrating the weekend as they usually do,” said the source. He also said the administrators of the student dormitory had authorized the party where birthdays from Thursday and Friday were being celebrated.
“Two police officers entered the university without permission from the school. And they came to where the young students were celebrating and told them they had to end the party,” he said.
