| [Arab News] Croatian police say 52 protesters remain in jug after they were jugged during a weekend clash at an anti-government rally. Police say 36 of the jugged face criminal charges for attacking the police, while others are suspected of violating public order. They said Sunday young soccer fans are among those jugged. Clashes erupted Saturday when some of 15,000 protesters tried to break through a police cordon near the government headquarters in capital Zagreb. Some 50 people were maimed during the clash. The violence marked the second time past week that demonstrators clashed with the police in Zagreb. Protesters are demanding the government ouster over economic crisis and alleged corruption. |
