End of The Strike
On February 1, 2000 students and workers opposed to the strike clashed with CGH and their supporters. This incident occurred when 200 students attempted to enter a UNAM-owned high school to start courses. 400 federal police officers were sent to open a way through the barricades, which they accomplished with no injuries.
On February 7, federal police stormed the university's main campus, ending the strike. A total of 632 people were arrested.

Famous quotes containing the word strike:
“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
