In a strongly worded statement, the teachers’ union expressed anger over what it described as harassment and intimidation of its member.
KNUT officials said the arrest was unnecessary and heavy-handed, adding that it has caused fear among teachers across the country.
According to the union, the teacher was picked up by police officers without proper explanation.
KNUT leaders claim that due process was not followed and that the arrest was carried out in a manner that undermines the dignity of teachers as professionals.
They argue that if there were concerns about the teacher’s conduct, the matter should have been handled through the relevant legal and administrative channels.
The union has now warned that it will move to court if the police leadership does not provide a clear explanation and take corrective steps.
KNUT officials insist that teachers deserve respect and protection under the law, just like any other citizens.
Speaking on behalf of the union, officials said they are prepared to defend their member and ensure justice is served.
They maintained that the action against the teacher appears to be an attempt to silence or intimidate educators who speak out on certain issues. However, police authorities have yet to publicly respond to the claims.
The standoff has sparked debate within the education sector, with some teachers expressing concern about their safety and rights.
KNUT has urged its members to remain calm but vigilant, assuring them that the union will not allow any form of harassment to go unchecked.
Education stakeholders are closely watching how the situation unfolds.
Legal experts note that if KNUT proceeds with a lawsuit, the case could test the limits of police powers in handling matters involving professionals such as teachers.
