Demonstrations against constitutional changes turned violent when police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters. The opposition coalition C64 organized the demonstrations, which were held in several cities. Protesters clashed with pro-government supporters, leading to the police intervention.

The protests began peacefully but were eventually broken up by police using tear gas and warning shots. An opposition leader reported a massacre and police firing at protesters.

Further details about the events and the constitutional changes are available from the source, including the concerns of protesters that the changes could allow the president to seek a third term in office.
