Also Garinda, your wrong about the lack of protests and I attended a talk on terrorists on friday that was about how some 'terrorists' should be freed. Back to the protests, I joined a group for gay rights which challenges the laws on gay adoption, marriage and blood donation and all sorts of other issues. Not all student 'just accept it'.
The BBC did a series about protesting and the law not so long back as well, and if you had watched it you would have seen that the terrorist laws have cut down the number of protesters as the law is quite ambiguous in some areas and you may end up being imprisoned as a terrorist.

Student protest in the 60's wasn't tea and biscuits in room 101.
Troops took to the streets to quell the students.
The streets of Paris and London were more akin to war zones. Students were fired on by troops in the States, and many sadly died.
Hardly in the same league.
