Students Hurt in Nepal Street Protest
Six people were injured in Nepal on Tuesday, July 19, 2005, when police broke up a protest staged to demand the release of student union leaders arrested for opposing a government order to print photographs of the king in text books. Police said six of the roughly 200 person were hurt and dozens were detained. The impoverished nation has been in turmoil since February, when King Gyanendra suspended democracy and seized power saying the move was necessary to crush an anti-monarchy Maoist revolt.
