> Corporate Watch's Julie Light reports from the street
>
> In a day of protests that were more colorful than violent, 9,000
> demonstrators surrounded Prague's Congress Center where the World Bank
> and IMF are holding their annual meeting.
>
> The protesters came from throughout Europe. A Greek telecommunications
> union marched alongside Italian Communists and Greens. A Danish
> religious based group rubbed shoulders with Spaniards decorated in
> balloons and face paint. A rowdy contingent from the Italian group "Ya
> Basta" led chants. There were large numbers of German, Dutch and French
> protesters, and a delegation of about 50 made the trip from Poland.
> Protesters said they were motivated by a sense of indignation at Bank
> polices that they say deepen the gap between rich and poor worldwide.
>
> However, small bands of demonstrators clashed with police, throwing
> rocks and setting dumpsters on fire. Police responded with tear gas,
> stun grenades and water cannons.
