Students: Occupy UM to stop for now


Making their stand: Students gathering around Occupy UM’s tents and placards placed outside the student affairs department, during the group’s protest at the university’s campus. Several students also set fire to an effigy (inset) symbolising the “death of democracy on campus”.
