These type of gases are harmful for the human body. It can cause occasional death. Recently these gases have been used during teachers demonstrations and many of them have been seriously injured.<\/p>\n
It has been alleged that one of the injured teachers died after returning home.<\/p>\n
It is the civil and political rights of every citizen to demonstrate peacefully for the fulfillment of their demands.\u00a0 This kind of toxic gas never used any civilized country to oppress any demonstration. If law-enforcing agencies need to find alternative and peaceful ways to contain protest which becomes dangerous but to use this toxic gas to disperse protestors is unacceptable. It is the responsibility of the government to ensure citizens can partake in peaceful demonstration and basic security.<\/p>\n
ASK demand that the Government should take immediate steps to stop using this toxic gas by considering the opinion of experts and give instruction to law enforcing agency to take peaceful action to stop any disorder in the movement.<\/p>\n

The Sacramento Bee reports on Wednesday that the board had decided behind closed doors on a figure of roughly $1 million.<\/p>\n “We did an injustice to our students that day at Davis, and some amount of recompense is appropriate,\u201d <\/em>UC Davis student regent Jonathan Stein told the Los Angeles Times after their meeting earlier this month. \u201cMore importantly, it\u2019s time for us as an institution to publicly acknowledge that\u2019s not the way we should treat our students; we were wrong, and we are moving forward.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The terms of the settlement were unsealed in federal court Wednesday morning and, assuming the appropriate papers are authorized by a federal judge, each of the 21 plaintiffs in the case are expected to receive $30,000, totaling $630,000 in all. Additional plaintiffs are invited to come forward and file claims in order to collect from a pool of $100,000 set aside for a class action suit, and $250,000 will be handed to the attorneys who handled the case.<\/p>\n Lt. John Pike, the officer who injured the protesters during a peaceful demonstration that was caught on tape and took the Internet by storm, was placed on paid administrative leave for several months after the November 18, 2011 sit-in on the Davis campus.
