BURMA Police strike a protester during a crackdown on student demonstrators on March 10 after a weeklong standoff in the town of Letpadan, about 90 miles (145 km) north of Rangoon. Students and their supporters were protesting a new education law introduced by the post junta government that they say stifles academic freedom. Police arrested more than 120 people, including 65 students, and chanted “Victory!” afterward.
