But in all these cities, there were clashed between the police and the protesters. Protesters threw stones and fire bombs and the police fired back with tear gas and rubber bullets. There have been fatalities, as well as 200 or more casualties. Im coming here to ask for the same demands we were demanding two years ago which are liberty and social justice.
