Police in Myanmar have charged a protest by students who protested against proposed legislation, which they say stifles academic freedom.
Around 100 people were arrested with the police beating students, monks and journalists, according to Reuters.
Student leaders rejected accusations they had instigated the violence.
"It hurts my heart whenever they do this to us students, but for sure we will never use violence," said Lin Htet Naing of the All Burma Federation of Student Unions.
The US has expressed concern about the violence and urged the government to respect freedom of speech and assembly.
