Some photos from today's Newport Rising events in Newport City Centre. Cameron, Obama and other world leaders put in an appearance, along with the leader of Newport City Council, Bob Bright, all working together to make money for corporate warmongers by hosting the NATO Summit in September at the expense of the people of Newport and all the victims of NATO wars. Today's events, which included earlier banner drops, are part of efforts to raise awareness of the Summit taking place at the Celtic Manor in Newport.

There will be a public meeting about the Summit at 95-96 Commercial Street, Newport from 4pm tomorrow, Sunday 1 June.

NATO and Obama are presented as peace makers in the world! But for real they continue Hitler’s politics and use all fascist methods - torture camps, intimidation of unarmed people and punitive operations. NATO deserves to go on the Nuremberg Trials for the whole list of military crimes. Nobody hold them accountable yet. Meanwhile, UN covers up its inhumanity. Support the open letter of the all-Russian oppositional party the Volya and its leader Svetlana Penova! They declare NATO a world’s aggressor that threatens the existence of our civilization! They demand to disband NATO! If you are with them - sign the petition! goo.gl/spsd0N
