“Pending the hearing and determination of the Application and Petition herein inter parties the Honourable Court be pleased to issue a temporary order restraining the Respondents, their agents, servants, supporters and/or any person whatsoever from holding violent protests, barricading roads, destroying critical infrastructure, disrupting the lives of non-demonstrators or in any manner using the subsisting democratic space to destroy property, intimidate disinterested persons or to loot business premises,” reads the court papers.

According to the petitioner, the protests orchestrated by the respondents have resulted in severe disruptions across various areas. The petitioner alleges that these disturbances have caused a complete standstill in businesses, paralyzed the transport system, and even interrupted emergency services and as a result, the struggling economy has been adversely affected.
