Cutting through the fences, 10,000 proud sons and daughters of Europe

demonstrations in the area and risked being detained.

Police clash with protesters at G8
By Erik Kirschbaum 2 hours, 27 minutes ago
HEILIGENDAMM, Germany (Reuters) - Around 10,000 anti-capitalist
protesters clashed with police on Wednesday, injuring eight, as they
tried to blockade routes to a summit of major powers in northern
Germany.

Police used water cannons to push back demonstrators. Delegates from
several G8 countries said the protests were limiting their ability to
move around at the summit venue, a seaside resort on Germany's Baltic
coast.
Eight officers were injured during the clashes with protesters near the
town of Bad Doberan, police spokesman Luedger Behrens said. Police
"used water cannons twice after demonstrators bombarded police with
stones," he said.
Police said 15 protesters had been detained.
Protesters were trying to block access to a luxury hotel on the coast
in Heiligendamm where G8 leaders including U.S.
President George W. Bush were gathering.
By late afternoon, all three roads leading into Heiligendamm were
blocked off by protesters and police in full riot gear wielding
transparent shields lined the entrance to the town.
German NDR public radio said the only way into Heiligendamm was via
boat or helicopter.
"We're stuck here now. The whole place looks shut down," an official
from one of the delegations said by telephone from inside the summit
venue.
Akie Abe, wife of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, was forced to
cancel a planned tour of the nearby Baltic resort town of Kuehlungsborn
on Wednesday because of the demonstrations.
Dozens of protesters had earlier blocked a steam train being used to
shuttle journalists between the summit venue and the media centre in
Kuehlungsborn.
Organizers tried to arrange a boat transfer along the coast for the
journalists as an alternative, but protesters briefly blocked access to
that as well.
SECURITY FENCE
Some 16,000 security personnel are in the area. World leaders are
shielded from thousands of demonstrators by a 12-km (7.5-mile) fence
topped with barbed wire.
Behrens said roughly 10,000 demonstrators were violating a ban on
demonstrations in the area and risked being detained.
Several hooded and masked protesters had clippers and were cutting
through barbed wire police had laid near the fence.
The Federal Constitutional Court, Germany's highest court, ruled
against plans for a demonstration on Thursday outside the fence. But
with some protesters already at the fence that decision had been made
largely irrelevant.
A German court handed down jail sentences to several protesters after
clashes with police on Saturday in the nearby city of Rostock in which
almost 1,000 people were injured.
A German man and a Spaniard were found guilty of attempted grievous
bodily harm and disturbing the peace and sentenced to nine months in
prison without parole, a court spokeswoman said.
A Pole was given a 6-month suspended sentence while another Spaniard
was given a 10-month jail sentence.
