PART III THE DISTURBANCES

218. The measures taken by the security authorities and the realization amongst potential trouble-makers that firm measures would be taken to suppress any disturbances combined to ensure a complete cessation of the disturbances on this night.

219. No casualties or damage to property were reported and only four rounds of tear smoke were used. During the curfew period, 523 persons were arrested: of these, 335 (64%) were released, 185 charged with breach of curfew and three charged with other offences.
