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 would strike me as ridiculous to want to doubt the existence of Napoleon; but if someone doubted the existence of the earth 150 years ago, perhaps I should be more willing to listen, for now he is doubting our whole system of evidence.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
