The NLC has rejected the police explanation for the recent raid on its national secretariat and demanded the release of arrested members and seized documents.
The organization has also criticized government interference in its internal affairs, including a proposed reduction in the tenure of trade union leaders.
The police invitation and raid on the NLC secretariat have sparked tensions between the government and the labor union, with the NLC accusing the government of attempting to silence its voice.
