Protests continue at G8 summit site in Germany

Protests against this week’s Group of Eight meeting continued for a third day in Rostock, Germany, as anti-globalization activists mounted a legal challenge against a ban on demonstrations outside the summit town of Heiligendamm.

About 800 protesters demonstrated outside Rostock’s immigration office demanding “global freedom of movement and equal rights for all,” including refugees and asylum seekers. Another 20,000 demonstrators were expected to hold an anti-G8 rally in central Rostock later today.
