MANAGUA, Nicaragua -- Violence returned to protests against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's government on Monday when riot police confronted protesters and students seized a university. Students demanding greater democracy and Ortega's resignation took over the Engineering University in Managua, the capital.

Government supporters quickly gathered to end the takeover, but anti-government protesters rallied to support the students.

The offices of the pro-government radio station Radio Ya, whose offices are located near the university, were partially set fire during the demonstration.
----------------------------------------
The demonstrations erupted in mid-April after Ortega imposed austerity measures for Nicaragua's social security system. At least 76 people died amid a violent response from police and government-allied Sandinista youth groups.
