Students demonstrate against work experience after deaths

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 18 - Italian students demonstrated against work experience in 40 cities and towns across Italy Friday after the recent deaths of two teens while on the job in Udine and Marche.
    In Turin tensions ran high as a group of students tried to get into the local HQ of industrial employers group Confindustria, and were pushed back by police with some batons being wielded.
    At least four officers were hurt.
    Masked protesters wielding the sticks holding up their placards broke through the gate of the Industrial Union, forcing Carabinieri to baton charge them to repel them.
    The allegedly heavy handed policing of recent such student protests has been criticised but Italian authorities say the incidents were provoked by anarchist agents provocateurs and extremist fringes of the student movement.
    The students are protesting the deaths at Udine of 18-year-old work experience student Lorenzo Parelli and that in Marche of 16-year-old Giuseppe Lenoci. (ANSA).
