Protesting against the G8

June 01, 2007

Around 100,000 people are expected to travel to northern Germany to protest against the G8 summit in Heiligendamm next week. From anti-globalisation groups to Greenpeace, people will be protesting at the meeting of the leaders of the Group of Eight nations for a wide range of reasons. The protestors say the anti-G8 mobilisation is definitely international. Meanwhile, German police say they expect peaceful demonstrations during the summit, but are prepared if things get out of hand.
