Protests are eminent when differing views exists either between ethnic groups, the citizens and government, student bodies and as a result of so many other vices. Often times peaceful protests turn violent. Many times police turn on protesters with violence, and sometimes peaceful protesters turn violent when confronted by police unjustly.
Throughout history, countless students/citizens have taken to the streets demanding changes. They have been a voice and a banner-carrier for populations oppressed by strict or repressive government regimes. They have gathered together to demand for their rights, better and fairer education for all. And they have set themselves up against senseless wars, unjust killings, and violence. Bloodshed, injury and death did not deter them and they shook their entire countries to the core.
the pictures presented here are to tell us that dialogue often times remains the best alternative to protests before they erupt into riot.
