Incident Details
70,000 protestors marched through the city on October 31. Police continue to clash with what they describe as ‘several hundred remaining rioters’ in the city. Authorities have used tear gas, while rioters have thrown projectiles including Molotov cocktails and chunks of concrete. Most of the protestors associated with the official march were peaceful, and turnout was lower than previous weeks, but expect sporadic, unpredictable violence during the rest of the day.
