More than 150 police hurt at G8 June 03, 2007 - Agence France-Presse MORE than 150 police have been injured in violent clashes with protesters at a demonstration in northern Germany against next week's G8 summit, a police spokesman says. Some of the injuries were serious, the spokesman said, after updating an earlier injured figure of 100. Masked demonstrators hurled Molotov cocktails, stones and bottles at police as tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of Rostock, a port city near Heiligendamm where the Group of Eight leaders will gather for three days of talks from Wednesday. Protesters overturned and set fire to several cars, an AFP reporter said. Demonstrators from far-left groups resumed clashes with the police after earlier rioting had been brought under control. Police said 20,000 people were taking part in the march, while the organisers - a collection of anti-globalisation and anti-poverty campaigners - put the figure at 80,000. The Rostock demonstration kicks off a week of protests against the summit of the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the US. Climate change and aid to Africa are expected to be the main themes of the meeting. http://www.news.com.au/sundaytelegraph/story/0,,21840795-5001028,00.html ----> Translation: "Masked demonstrators" - the core belongs to the Police (agents provocateurs).
