Police fire teargas at students protesting education reforms

Описание: (16 May 2014) A protest march by students ended in violence in the Peruvian city of Cusco, southeast of the capital, Lima, on Thursday.
Anti-riot police fired teargas as university students threw large rocks and other objects, local media reported.
At least one student and one officer were injured, according to the local media.
The protest by students of the National University of San Antonio Abad had started out peacefully.
About two-thousand demonstrators rallied against federal legislation that would make sweeping changes to the university system.
For example, the law would create a national body to oversee the academic quality and use of resources at universities.
Students opposed to the reform say this would take away the universities' autonomy.
