In Photos: Wednesday’s March for Justice

As protesters took to the streets across the country yesterday, law enforcers blocked them at various spots, foiling their "March for Justice" called by Students against Discrimination.

Teachers, parents, lawyers, cultural activists, and many others from different walks of life joined the protest, expressing solidarity with the nine-point demand of the students and condemning the violence unleashed by the police during the quota reform movement.

Law enforcers foiled the demonstrations by using teargas, stun grenades and charging batons in different districts.

At least 100 people, including journalists, were injured and 83 detained during the protests.

These photographs were taken across the country yesterday.
