Flags, Tanks and Students.

This article reports a long student strike in Mexico that has been initiated on July 26, 1968, involving over 100,000 students of the National University and twenty-nine affiliated schools. The army has invaded several campuses during when many students have been killed. A sequence of marches of students and their parents, teachers, college professors, and small business workers were reported every day. These groups could be identified by their banners and flags. This social movement was reportedly aimed to demand for the removal of Mexican Police Chief Cueto Ramirez and two of his officials; dissolution of the riot police; repeal of article 145 of the constitution; indemnification of the families of slain students, and freedom for all political prisoners.
