Youths, Police Clash After Teen’s Funeral

More than 1,000 young Poles clashed with police after the funeral of a 13-year-old basketball fan killed by an officer. The mourners, many from cities across Poland, threw rocks at riot police who tried to stop them from marching to the spot where Przemek Czaja was killed with a nightstick after a basketball game Saturday in Slupsk, 250 miles north of Warsaw. Police detained at least 50 people before the crowd dispersed. Young Poles have rioted nightly since Czaja died. Police say they were trying to break up an unruly crowd leaving the game. Fans said they did nothing more serious than jaywalk. They say police have been overzealous in their crackdown on hooliganism.
