ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - Police raided a technical college Tuesday in Ethiopia's capital, firing rubber bullets and beating up students defying a government ban on protests.
It was the second day police and students have clashed over disputed election results that gave the ruling party control of parliament. One girl was killed and seven people were wounded in Monday's violence. Hundreds were arrested.
On Tuesday, about 200 youths gathered outside the college in Addis Ababa, throwing rocks at passing vehicles and demanding the release of students detained Monday. Police responded by charging into the crowd in an armored truck and clubbing protesters using butts of their rifles and batons.
