Police crush anti-G8 protests!

Realist | 02.06.2003 09:14

15,000 police were mobiliesed and a ten mile exclusion zone set up around the G8 conference centre. Protesters who attempted to force their way to the conference centre were beaten back by lines of riot police who made hundreds of arrests! Despite cliam by activists that they would definitly shut down the G8 Summit they failed miserably!

Despite fierce fighting outside the exclusion zone protesters failed completely to enter the exclusion zone and storm the G8 Summit building as they had vowed they would do for weeks in advance. The protests were also smaller than expected with only a few thousand people taking to the streets outnumbered by riot police.
