UASD suspends classes

[NewsWhore]

The UASD University has suspended classes for the next three days after rioting broke out around the campus and because the Social Alternative Forum plans a 24-hour strike beginning on Wednesday. Listin Diario writes that student groups started altercations with National Police officers yesterday as a "warm up" for tomorrow's strike. The Fenatrado bus union and the Private Business Council (CONEP) as well as other groups have come out against the 24-hour strike planned by the Forum. UASD officials said they would take action against the protest organizers. El Caribe reports that the rioters threw rocks and other objects at vehicles in the area around the UASD, as well as burning tires and other materials. The altercations began early in the morning and lasted until 4pm.
