Description Police in Blantyre used tear gas to disperse school pupils marching against a public workers strike. Though most of the demonstrators were peaceful, there were a small minority of students who threw rocks at police. The ages of the students were between 6 and 15 years of age. The police said they were forced to fire tear gas at the school pupils' protest because it had been "hijacked by hooligans."
