Tensions have risen at the National Assembly as protesters clash with police, after tear gas was fired to disperse the crowd.
A video cited by our reporter captured protesters running
from the fumes, with voices shouting, “They don shoot tear gas,” and “They shot
it directly at the people.”
Others were also heard saying, “We no go gree o.”
Some reporters on the ground were also caught in the chaos
surrounding the ongoing demonstrations.
UPDATE: the police is shooting tear gas at us
