Resumen: Un estudiante del grado 11 fue golpeado por la policía el pasado viernes y sufrió graves lesiones, incluyendo una fractura de mandíbula y las encías cortar.

A GRADE 11 student in Mt Hagen was bashed by police last Friday and suffered serious injuries, including a broken jaw and cut gum.
Provincial police commander Chief Supt Martin Lakari confirmed the incident yesterday, saying that he had commissioned an investigation.
“He is a student and a kid and the internal investigation unit (IIU) in the province based in Mt Hagen are investigating it,” Lakari said.
A security guard who witnessed the incident but declined to be identified, said the student, Solomon Kuli, 19 and from Kindeng in the Anglimp-South Waghi electorate of Jiwaka, was only a small, young man and police could have killed him.
Kuli is a student at Mt Hagen Secondary in Western Highlands.
According to the medical report from the Sir Joseph Nombri Memorial Hospital in Kundiawa, Chimbu, Kuli suffered serious body injuries -including a bleeding mouth and was unable to open his mouth.
Kuli was at the South Rama Lodge at Tarangau in Mt Hagen, which is owned and operated by his father Ruman Joe.
At 10pm as the bar closed, he was trying to close the gates of the lodge when a police vehicle approached him.
The police officers were fully armed and told him to wait and they came out of the vehicle and assaulted him. Kuli was kicked and was hit with gun butts and fell unconscious.
He was then taken to the Mt Hagen police station cell and locked up.
Provincial police commander Chief Supt Martin Lakari confirmed the incident yesterday, saying that he had commissioned an investigation.
Kuli’s mother Sheila said her son’s education would be affected.
“I want justice to prevail because Solomon is only a kid and he was only assisting the staff to close the gate when he was assaulted,” she said.
“He was not drinking, he was only helping to close the gates because it was after 10pm,” Sheila said.
