G8 Rostock Demo Rally Attacked by Police - Pics

02-06-2007 16:43

Just after half past two when the march from the station was entering the harbour a scuffle broke out at the far end of the stadium area near the exit. Several police officers were dragging a man away while people around where trying to find out his name. The situation quickly escalated as more police were sent in to back up the others arresting the man. People were pushed back and then some sticks thrown at the police who responded with pepper spray. A wave of about 50 police followed a few seconds later, charging towards the crowd and was met with a hail of sticks and stones.

Tens of thousands to protest on eve of G-8 summit

01-06-2007 20:54

Millions of people are deeply disturbed by the current state of society. They are vehemently opposed to the policies of the ruling elites all over the world and are seeking ways to resist them. They face, however, a contradiction. Experience shows that protest, even if it embraces masses of people, is not sufficient to resolve the great problems of war, repression and social reaction.

G8 Protest Ban Exclusion Zone Re-imposed

01-06-2007 14:42

The highest court in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has overruled the previous court decision and decided that a general demonstration ban on June 7th did not violate the constitutional rights of protesters.

A general injunction over a 40 square kilometre area had been designated by police as a demonstration-free zone due to a "state of emergency". It went well beyond the original 200m exclusion zone around the fence stretching to 6km in places.

As a result of this the so-called Star March on June 7th , which was intending to go all the way to the Kempinski hotel, will now be confined to the B105 road.

Under the slogan of „Growth and Responsibility“, Germany plays host, from June 6th to 8th, to the group of 8 (the 7 most powerful industrial nations plus Russia) in the small seaside resort of Heiligendamm.
The G8 are not the “Spider in the Net”, or the “Control Room” of “Rapacious Capitalism”. It has to be understood as a form in which capitalist society reflects itself in a political dimension.
