Germany has banned protests during Bush's visit
Advertisements [?]
German authorities have barred all open-air public gatherings and protest marches in the old part of the town. The ban will take effect on the evening of July 12 and will last until one hour after Bush's departure on July 13.

German pacifist and leftist groups are planning to stage a major demonstration during the Bush visit -- titled 'Not Welcome, Mr. President'. Thousands of protestors are expected to attend the demo from all over Germany.



A court in the northeast Germany has upheld a partial demonstration ban for the duration of the upcoming two-day visit by US President George W. Bush, DPA reported Tuesday.

The administrative court in the town of Greifswald stated in its decision that the gathering ban was 'basically legal'.


How do you like that. Illegal acts are being described as basically legal to accomodate BushCo.
