ConU journos tweet their way out of trouble
Some student journalists covering the end of Wednesday night’s demo were rounded up for arrest when their tweets were noticed by the all-seeing eye of @SPVM and word came down to let them go.
Some other student strife-related links from today, in no particular order:
Thoughts on the need for a “special” law and what it means.
Ten points everyone should know about the student movement.
Both the Ligue des droits et libertés and Amnesty International are concerned about the sheer force used by police against students here. It’s interesting that this plays out against today’s news that police commanders at the very violent repression around the G20 protests in Toronto two years ago will be charged with various misconduct offences.

Beware…The “Ten points everyone should know” article may make you roll your eyes so far around that you vision will be impaired for life.

Kate, the 10 points article should be titled: “10 points in support of the Student Uprising”

Thanks for recommending the article, Bill and md. It’s a fine read. What a relief that money and organized crime no longer get to frame every social phenomenon.
