Collateral Damage: Ciudad Juarez News: University Students Rise Up

A more detailed account of the shooting of a Mexican student by the police during a demonstration in Ciudad Juarez. From Frontera NorteSur, published in the Salem (Oregon) News.

Ciudad Juarez News: University Students Rise Up - Salem-News.Com: "For months Ciudad Juarez's Plural Citizens Front and other opponents of Mexican President Felipe Calderon's so-called drug war planned an international forum on violence and militarization in their battle-weary city.

Ironically, on the first day of the event, a bloody incident of the kind activists were protesting marred the meeting site at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juarez (ICB. Eyewitnesses told Frontera NorteSur that members of Mexico's Federal Police opened fire on young people who had just participated in the 11th Walk against Death and were arriving to the campus to initiate the left-oriented forum.)"
