Defiant Student Protesters Force Withdrawal of Puerto Rican Police from Restive Campus

"Puerto Rico Governor Luis Fortuño has begun withdrawing the police occupation of the main University of Puerto Rico campus in San Juan after two months. SWAT teams and riot squads took over the campus in December following a massive student strike against fee hikes and privatization. Hundreds of students have been arrested, and some have reported being beaten, including sexually harassed and tortured, in the ensuing crackdown. Democracy Now! co-host Juan Gonzalez comments on the students’ uprising". See at: http://www.democracynow.org/2011/2/17/defiant_student_protesters_force_withdrawal_of
