The National Integrity Alliance (NIA) strongly condemns the alarming escalation of state- sponsored brutality witnessed during the peaceful protests on 25th June 2025. NIA decries arbitrary arrests, abductions, and the use of armed goons, some seen walking side by side with the police, as well as incidents of sexual violence and destruction of property carried out under the guise of law enforcement. While also condemning attacks on police officers by a few civilians, NIA urges all demonstrators to adhere to the principle of non-violence in exercising their constitutional rights.
