The GMOA is bound to " ruido de sables " on these arrests, It would save all the excitement if the AG informs OUR govt;s STANCE on this issue , to save undue embaressment to courts. By the way "ruido de sables " which is in Spanish - means - "threatening behaviour which is intended to frighten someone" OR in other words = Sabre rattling

Finally the government had to bend their backbone to the GMOA's request. Now they keep on arresting the students. Shameless people !!!
