There are 3 points listed in the letter in PDF format. One of them is strongly condemning the neglect carried out by the police at the time of the incident.

We strongly condemn the omission carried out by the police for acts of thuggery in the dissolution of the discussion. Police officers should be quick to take action to protect discussion activities as the right of citizens to gather and express themselves. Police officers who allow acts of coercion have violated their duties, and deserve to be subject to action/sanctions because they have neglected their duties. In order to emphasize that the main task of the police according to the law is to maintain security and order. Not the other way around!
