Protests pictures from around the world

[BrklynLiberal]

Protests took place across the world on Saturday, marking two years since the start of the war in Iraq.


Pakistani protesters in Lahore carried banners saying: "US Out of Iraq", as they chant anti-US slogans


In the Turkish capital, Istanbul, an estimated 15,000 people turned out to protest against the war.


Tight security accompanied the demonstrations - some of which were held outside US embassies.


Caricatures of George Bush featured in most of the rallies - such as this one in Copenhagen, Denmark.


And this one at a protest in Athens, Greece.


In Britain, three former soldiers carried a coffin representing the dead in Iraq to London's Speakers' Corner.


New York activists also carried coffins to highlight their objections.

2. BrklynLiberal, would it be ok if I just INSISTED that you --

-- remain active in progressive politics? Because like so many of your posts on DU this one is better than anything in most Americans' newspapers today covering the same topic.

Thank you for the extra steps putting it together for the rest of us.

4. 1,500 Marched out of Loring Park, Minneapolis, MN - 2 cop cars.

I'm so proud of our state!! There were a lot of other protests too, but that's the one I followed around trying to catch up to. No parking to be found anywhere and the marchers who did find parking were feeding meters! So more joined in along the way and some dropped out.
