**Analysis**
The text appears to be describing a specific event related to a university, where a raid was conducted by military and security forces, resulting in the seizure of materials and detention of individuals. The context suggests that the event is related to the university's activities, students, and officials, which leads me to believe that the category should be related to Education.
