100,000 protest in  
Costa Rica  
 
 
 

Thousands of workers and students marched in the streets of San José, Costa Rica, March 23 in the fourth day of protests against government plans to sell off state-owned power and telecommunications enterprises. The action paralyzed the city, blocking roads and highways, as the demonstrators demanded that a bill approved by the legislature three days earlier be repealed.
