Thousands of students demonstrate over Police excesses in Mexico City

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of students from Mexico City's National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) marched through the capital Friday, demanding greater say in university matters.
The students, who originally took their demands to the streets on Sept. 25, called for transparent election of the university's leadership, among other things.
The Interior Ministry last week agreed to response to their demands, and proposed changes to the institution's administration. However, student leaders said Friday the changes were not enough.
Deputy Interior Minister Luis Enrique Miranda said their demands would be reviewed along with the Ministry of Public Education, and an answer would be provided by noon Tuesday, the El Universal daily reported.
In September, more than 10,000 IPN students blocked one of the city's main roads and forced the cancellation of classes. Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong offered dialogue with them, saying: "We will listen to the demands of the students of the IPN to resolve the situation."
