The protest outside the Ministry of Education has ended in clashes. Tear gas and water cannon are being used heavily against protesters after they threw stones and set fire to rubbish bins.
Democratic Party protesters gathered outside the Ministry of Education, where a student protest had also been announced. A few steps away from the State Police forces and the water cannon, protesters set fire to a rubbish bin.
Among the protesters, a group dressed in white shirts and masks was observed, and it is not known whether they are part of the students or the Democratic Party protesters. Meanwhile, the student protest outside the Ministry of Education has turned violent.
