　　　　德国东北部罗斯托克爆发大规模游行，抗议即将召开的G8峰会。

　　2007年6月4日电 据英国《卫报》4日报道，八国集团首脑峰会6月6日将在德国小城海利根达姆举行，数万民众2日在德国东北部举行大规模示威抗议，目前共造成约1000人受伤，其中包括520名示威者以及400余名警察。另外还有20名示威者目前仍被关押在监狱中，其中10人将会受到暴乱罪的指控。

　　　　来自欧洲和世界其他地方的示威者2日早些时候在罗斯托克的两个地点举行了集会，然后分两路前往罗斯托克港口进行主要的示威活动。这一示威活动是到目前为止针对八国峰会的最大规模示威。德国警方估计有2.5万人参与游行，组织方的数据则高达8万。参与示威的包括反全球化组织、无政府主义者、反战分子等。 在一群大约2000人的蒙面示威者队伍中，突然有数百人发动了暴力袭击。他们向警察投掷石块和瓶子、打砸商店的窗户、焚烧垃圾箱。为了驱赶示威民众，大批防暴警察全力向前。示威民众则以投掷石块的方式攻击警察，有些示威民众甚至放火烧车。街头冲突持续了数小时。在这场街头混战中，警方逮捕了一些滋事分子，很多受伤的警察被紧急送到医院治疗。

　　　　Witnesses said that because Heiligendamm has been designated as a warning zone, the port city of Rostock, 25 kilometers away from it, has become the best choice for demonstrators. At that time, demonstrators poured into the streets of Rostock from all over the world. At the beginning, the parade was like a celebration. Tens of thousands of protesters from both inside and outside Germany were divided into two teams, waving slogans and shouting slogans, marching along the main street of Rostock, and finally gathered at the main venue near the port to listen to the band’s performances and speeches. The police just watched calmly from the side, and there was no sign of intervening in the parade at all. However, hundreds of militants wearing black masks or black headscarves suddenly threw stones and glass bottles at the police, and some even pried up the slate on the sidewalk and threw it at the police standing in a row, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

　　　　Carsten Wolff, a German police spokesman, said that many masked militants belong to an organization called "Black Group", and their only goal is to provoke the police. Masked men threw stones, petrol bombs and fireworks at the police in the chaos, and they smashed everything they saw on the road to pieces. At the same time, a police car and several parked cars were ignited, and thick smoke hung over the parade area. In order to rescue the police in the police car, the police sent two teams of riot police to the incident site. They responded to these militants with water cannons, tear gas and batons, and sent two helicopters to monitor the ground situation in the air, and the conflict escalated immediately. Stones flew aimlessly all over the sky, protesters fled in panic, the injured lined up in front of several first-aid stations, and many ambulances took the injured to the hospital for treatment from time to time, and the windows of some shops were also seriously damaged.

　　　　Taking into account the "lessons from the past" of frequent violent conflicts in previous summits, the German police took a series of security measures very early. The police launched a large-scale security search from the beginning of May. The German government also spent 18.5 million euros to build steel and concrete security protection facilities around Heiligendamm, and another 16,000 police officers were on standby to ensure the safety during the summit.
