Police officers are stationed inside local schools to enforce this curfew.
This means that the free movement of the local youth is being sacrificed in the name of the smooth running of DSEI.
We spoke to some officers in plain clothes stationed at the school gates, who were checking passes that the students had to show to exit the school premises.
So much for liberty!
