The organisation welcomes the suspension of an EFF student leader at the University of Pretoria (UP) and hopes that action would also be taken against other students who are guilty of public violence in future,\u201d<\/strong> says Morn\u00e9 Mostert, AfriForum Youth\u2019s National Spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAn example must be made of each person who damages property, intimidates, assaults or injures someone. Police, campus management and campus security allow innocent students to become victims because they neglect to act against troublemakers,\u201d<\/strong> says Ian Cameron, AfriForum\u2019s Head of Community Safety.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>AfriForum Youth also encourages students to sign the petition <em>Laat ons studeer\/Let us study<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cThe purpose of this petition is to protect and promote the rights of paying students who really want to study.
