Myanmar Student Clash

Myanmar's opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) demanded an inquiry today into clashes between police protesters in which students, monks and journalists were beaten with batons and more than 100 people were arrested.

Myanmar police beat students with batons and detained some of them as they broke up a group of about 200 protesters who had been locked in a standoff with security forces for more than a week, a Reuters witness said.
