Six students from the University of Rhodesia who were detained by the Smith regime last summer are still being refused visits from members of the University Students' Representative Council. In August 1975 it was reported that five students had been arrested in the curfew area of the Manicaland eastern border, and were being held incommunicado and in confinement in Salisbury. It was alleged by the police that together with a number of other young people, the students were attempting to cross the border into Mozambique. By October the university authorities were still being refused access to the students and had been unable to arrange legal representation for them. The Students' Representative Council are now demanding that the six known to be still imprisoned be either charged and tried, or released.
