Queen caught in Malaysia chaos

Article Abstract:

Political protests have marred an official visit by the Queen to Malaysia. Protestors emphasize that they are not opposed to the Queen in any way, but they feel that her visit is being used by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, whom they do oppose. Riot police have taken very firm action against protestors, who do not appear to have been involved in any illegal acts, such as starting fires or looting shops. A number of people are being held under the Internal Security Act.
