Severe Human Rights violation in USA university

US university investigates campus pepper spray use

A US university says it is launching an investigation into the use of pepper spray by riot police trying to clear a demonstration.
Video of the incident at the University of California, Davis, shows officers blasting seated protesters in the face with the chemical at close range.
The university chancellor, who had called in the police, described the pepper spray incident as "chilling".
The protest, on Friday, was in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
It was intended to show solidarity with protesters at another branch of the Univeristy of California, in Berkeley, who were hit with batons by police on 9 November.
The footage of the pepper spray incident, which has been circulated widely on the internet, has caused outrage among students.
