“The expat teacher hit a 13 year-old student in the chest and the child fell and couldn’t breathe and was taken to the health centre,” Island Councilor Ali Anwar told Minivan News at the time.
“The islanders became angry at the teacher and gathered outside the school. The security guard and school staff were unable to control them.”
He said the islanders destroyed a power distribution unit outside the school cutting off its electricity, and then attacked the expat teacher.
