Police Occupy Puerto Rico Campus
--------------------------------



In Puerto Rico, armed police have occupied the main campus of the
University of Puerto Rico in San Juan following the end of a two-day
student strike. Puerto Rican officials say the officers will remain
indefinitely to ensure non-striking students can attend classes. The
strike was called in protest of a tuition hike that takes effect next
month. Student activists have blasted the police operation as a
militarization of campus and a crackdown on dissent.
