Protest demonstrations continue for one week now against the G-20 Summit that kicked off in Hamburg, Germany yesterday and will continue today.

The protest actions that started with the 'Alternative Summit' continued with street demonstrations. As thousands from across Germany and other European cities gathered in Hamburg in protest at the Summit that is attended by 20 countries including the USA, China, Russia and Germany, the German police did not allow demonstrations to take place, brutally attacking the masses and leaving dozens injured amid a severe crackdown.

Demonstrators put up barricades on streets as protests intensified in central locations such as Altona, St. Pauli and Sternschanze that witnessed strong resistance against the brutal police forces of the German state. During clashes that continued into the morning, several people were injured and detained while Hamburg police claimed that 200 policemen got injured.
