It seemed to me that there were a large number of protests around the world this week. I decided to download the photos and present them here on my blog. The one in Turkey was the largest; the one in Norway was the one that was tear gassed. The ones in Iraq were ignored and participants brutalized. I have no pictures for the ones in the USA on May 1, 2007. There were human rights violations at some of thes, especially the one in LA.
