In El Salvador, the FMLN is calling for rallies outside Salvadoran consulates in several North America cities today to protest a recent police crackdown on protesters at the University of El Salvador. Students say police opened fire at a peaceful demonstration against rising prices for transportation and food last week. They say they responded by throwing stones and were met with fire from snipers and helicopters. A gunfight broke out, leading to the deaths of three students and two police officers. Dozens more were injured.
