- Defiant Student Protesters Force Withdrawal of Puerto Rican Police From Restive Campus

Democracy Now! co-host Juan Gonzalez comments on the students\' uprising.

Rubber bullets, tear gas and concussion grenades were fired into the crowd without warning. At least four people were killed and hundreds injured. Some 60 people are reported missing. We hear from human right activist Nabeel Rajab outside a hospital in Manama where the wounded are being treated.

I think change is coming to the Arab world.\"
