Paraguayan militants of the ruling Colorado Party used clubs and whips to block university students from gathering for a protest rally against the closing down of a law school. The incident, latest in a round of intensified strife that began three weeks ago with demonstrations against President Alfredo Stroessner, followed a break-in and sabotage against an opposition radio station. The station, Radio Nanduti, is Jewish-owned. Paraguay’s small Jewish community expressed alarm this weekend over anti-Semitic ads appearing in an Asuncion newspaper that praised the attack.
