With the sounds of Pleneros, batucada and slogans to protest the 
presence of the police in Rio Piedras campus of the University of 
Puerto Rico, thousands of people marched today through the streets of 
Rio Piedras in support of students in the demonstration dubbed "I 
love the UPR."

At about 2:30 p.m. coming out of the Plaza de la Convalescence, in 
the center of town Rio Piedras, was the mass demonstration led by the 
leadership of the Puerto Rican Association of University Professors 
(APPU), students and members of various political organizations, 
professional, civic and community organizations.

Notable was the participation of students accompanied by parents or 
relatives who sympathize with the claim of the university community 
to leave the uniformed Rio Piedras campus.

Beatriz Miranda, mother of a student of this campus, said she 
participated in the march "to let them know (the government) that 
these guys are not alone. This is an outrage against the students," 
said the woman, who lives in Bayamon.

The march went around the campus and went through the main access 
points to the Rio Piedras campus, where police officers were 
stationed, who were the target of call to leave by the protesters.
