The traditional march to the US Embassy was completed culminating the
3-day celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the student's uprising
against the military junta at the Polytechnic School. Authorities said
about 20 people were detained during the march, held to protest the
belief that Washington gave vital support to the 1967-74 military
dictatorship that crushed the student rebellion. Police fired dozens of
tear gas canisters at the hooded rioters, who set fire to trash bins as
they fled. The enormous security operation involved more than 7,000
police and riot officers. Traffic has been sealed off in the city
center while there are serious traffic problems being reported on other
streets throughout the city.
