He claimed 90 student organizations are involved in the strike.
“I expect to see all of you striking tomorrow!” he shouted from the stage as some in the crowd shouted back disapprovingly.
Other video showed the malcontents marching through campus and down the street:

Many concealed their faces with kifaya scarves and masks.
