Thousands of students took to the streets of Montreal to stage a "naked protest" against tuition hikes on Wednesday, May 16. They were also carrying signs against the policy of tuition fees increase.
It's been weeks since the protest began with around 170 000 students involved to stand against plains to raise tuition. To break the deadlock Quebek Premier Jean Charest has promised a rise in scholarship and minor increase of the tuition, but the students rejected the deal, calling for a tuition freeze.
