Authorities cracked down on thousands of protesters, many of themstudents, flooding downtown Montreal near the Berri-UQ M metrostation Friday night after Molotov cocktails were thrown. As many as 10,000 people attended a march against Quebec'semergency law in the tuition crisis. Critics say the new rulesinfringe on civil rights. The march unfolded peacefully for more than an hour, stretchingalong several city blocks under the setting sun. But police declared the protest illegal at 9:54 p.m.
afterincendiary devices were thrown from a small section of the crowd,near St-Laurent and Ren -Levesque Boulevards. A Canadian Press photographer reported seeing at least two Molotovcocktails thrown and there were other reports of multiple devicesbeing tossed. Projectiles were also tossed at riot police, who responded withtear gas and noise bombs, and ordered all protesters to disperse. Police in armour blocked St-Laurent Boulevard in an attempt tocontain the crowd.
Some smaller groups splintered from the main march and made theirway down side streets in Chinatown. The main march continued, snaking westbound on Sherbrooke Streetand then eastbound on Ste. Catherine Street West. Protest vibe 'electric' Shortly after the march got underway, protesters said they wereencouraged by the turnout and by the support from bystandershonking their car horns or clapping while they passed.
Many described the mood as "electric". Opponents of Jean Charest's government have begun attacking itsapproach to the protests, even more than the tuition hikes thatoriginally sparked the unrest. Friday's march in Montreal occurred just hours after the governmentpassed a law limiting the ability to protest and laying out fines for those who don't follow the new rules. Also Friday, a new municipal bylaw went into effect that allows people wearing masks while demonstrating to face stiff fines.
Some people taking part in the march were wearing masks, but themask bylaw and the protest limits were not expected to be enforceduntil Saturday. Police said they were given the march route in advance one ofthe many stipulations of the new law. The nighttime protests have been going on every night for nearly amonth Friday's was the 25th in a row. With files from The Canadian Press.
