Following tensions at the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health issued an official clarification on the people who sought medical assistance. The institution denies reports circulating online of a fatality and insists there has been no loss of life.
What the official version says
According to the Ministry of Health, several people went to hospital facilities after the protest for checkups and medical treatment.
The same clarification says that information circulating online claiming that one person had died is untrue.
One protester and one police officer at the Trauma Hospital
One protester went to the University Trauma Hospital and is undergoing medical examinations. He is reported to be in good health and conscious.
A police officer also went to the same hospital facility and, according to the statement, received the necessary treatment before leaving on a doctor’s advice.
Three protesters at QSUT, one remains under medical care
At the Mother Teresa University Hospital Center, three protesters presented with minor injuries, according to the ministry.
Two of them left the hospital after treatment, while the third person remains under doctors’ care. Health authorities say he is out of danger for his life.
The current toll remains limited to institutional data
At this stage, the public toll of those injured is based only on communication from the health institutions and is not accompanied by fuller information on the circumstances of the injuries during the protest.
For now, the official statement refers to four protesters and one police employee who received medical assistance, with no fatalities reported.
The Ministry of Health’s statement came after claims of a death circulated online, claims the institution has rejected.
In the absence of a more detailed toll and independent verification, the full picture of the consequences of the protest remains tied to the information being provided by the institutions themselves.
