Romanian Riot Police Tear Gas Protesters in Bucharest
Ana Maria Luca, Madalin Necsutu

Scores were injured in the Romanian capital Bucharest when riot police used water cannons and tear gas against anti-corruption demonstrators.

Dozens of Romanian protesters were wounded after security forces used tear gas and water cannons to disperse anti-corruption demonstrators in Bucharest on Friday night when tens of thousands of people rallied against the ruling Social Democrat Party asking for the resignation of the government.

Over 200 people, both protesters and riot police, needed medical care and 16 people were taken to the hospital.


Big protests there, have happened for some time though these appear more intense. And like last time, apparently over corruption in the government.
