Two students in Papua New Guinea have been shot by police at the University of Goroka during protests over the resignation of the university's vice chancellor.
The provincial police commander, Superintendent John Kale, told the Post Courier the protest was illegal and police set up a road block to stop it from progressing.
Mr Kale says stones were thrown at officers, who then discharged their firearms at the crowd.
Two students were shot and taken to hospital.
