The picture above is of a person who is protesting in shahbag, he is demanding death penalty to Abdul Quader Mollah aka Butcher of Mirpur or Mirpurer Koshai (Bengali) who is accountable for 344 deaths, beheading a poet, raping 11-year old girl during the independence war of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971. He has been given life imprisonment instead of a capital punishment, the people in Bangladesh are extremely unhappy with this move, and have demanded Capital punishment. To pressurize the government they have been staging a peace protest in Shahbag, Dhaka, Bangladesh. They don't belong to any political party, neither they have been forced to come there and protest, they come here to demand for justice and to give respect to those people who lost their life in the independence war of Bangladesh. Like him there are thousands of people in this place, some of them have lost their family members during the Bangladesh independence war and many youngsters come here as they couldn’t participate in the Independence war so they want to be a part of the independence war, as nearly 42 years has gone from its independence but the sentences for the accused has not be given.

Protesters attacked delegates, smashed windows, punctured car tires and threw bottles Monday, a violent counterpoint to an otherwise peaceful anti-war march at the Republican National Convention. Police arrested at least 56 people.
Members of the Connecticut delegation said they were attacked by protesters when they got off their bus near the Xcel Center, KMSP-TV reported. Delegate Rob Simmons told the station that a group of protesters came toward his delegation and tried to rip the credentials off their necks and sprayed them with a toxic substance that burned their eyes and stained their clothes.
One 80-year-old member of the delegation had to be treated for injuries, and several other delegates had to rinse their eyes and clothing, the station reported.
A local house was raided and the following items were found inside:
Spikes to deflating the tires of the delegates' buses.
Large amounts of urine, including five gallon buckets of urine
Materials to create "sleeping dragons" (PVC pipe, chicken wire, duct tape), which is when protesters lock themselves together
Wrist rockets (high-poweredslingshots)
A machete, hatchet and several throwing knives

Protesters causing complete mayhem this morning in the west end so I biked down to shoot some of this ruckus. Personally speaking, I think the protesters are causing more harm than good. Are they not wasting more tax money by protesting? Choppers and cops don't come cheap people.

Protest against Ikea opening
Protesters and local residents gathered against the first German Inner City Ikea. Police and Security is protecting the entrances.
Within 2 years Ikea erected a 7 story bunker building in the heart of Altona-Altstadt, a multi ethnical residential area. Protesters make Ikea accountable for increasing rents, increasing traffic and pollution and the effects of a wider gentrification, which will force people with lower income out of their inhabited area and local business to shut down.

Another incredible day at Toronto city hall
At noon today, over a thousand of concern citizens came to Nathan Phillips Square in front of City Hall to protest against Mayor Rob Ford. People from all walk of life and all ages, many carry protest signs, drums, cow bells staged a noisy but otherwise peaceful protest. . .
Mean while, inside the city hall chamber it was high noon with Mayor Ford with his fellow city councilors, one by one they stood up and asked him pointed questions of his drug use, association with known gang members and drug dealer and his admitted drunken stupors.
While all this going on, a short walk away an Ontario judge has allowed more documents to be released. We got to find out more about his drinking while driving, more drug uses and even with escorts.( interviews of his former staff with the police)
However Mayor Ford stood his ground and used every ounce of his 350 lb to block off all disapproving voices rain down on him, not unlike a sumo wrestler. As they say blood is thicken than water, along with his city councilor brother Doug, two of them formed a supper heavy weight tag team took on all city councilors. At the end, even council voted 35 to 5 and asked him to step down temporary.
However, He absolutely refuses to leave, claiming he has never taken a day off from his work at city hall. Perhaps he might take six days off with his family to Florida during Christmas.
My advice for him is anywhere but Florida because in 1999 he was arrested in Florida for driving under the influence and possession. Marijuana. It will be like jumping into alligator pond with the awaiting American media. They will follow your every misstep there. Free yourself from the giant mayor necklace you are wearing, they looks like bottle caps from the distant.

A strong youth generation protest for the maximum punishment of the convicted war-criminals of 1971's Liberation-War in Bangladesh.
The Shahbag protest of 2013 began on February 5, 2013 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with protesters demanding capital punishment for Abdul Quader Mollah and all others accused war criminals of the 1971 Bangladeshi Liberation War. Abdul Quader Mollah was charged with abetting the Pakistani army, genocide, rape and mass murder of Bangladeshis during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971. On February 5, 2013, The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) of Bangladesh sentenced Abdul Quader Mollah to life in prison. Within hours of the verdict, mass discontent broke out in Bangladesh where people were expecting capital punishment for Mollah. The bloggers and online activists gave a voice to the public opinion and called for a mass demonstration at the Shahbag intersection in central Dhaka. Thousands of people spontaneously joined the protest and the demonstration culminated into the 2013 Shahbag movement.
anti-Trump demo outside the gates of Blenheim Palace on 12.7.2018. Amazing how many different views and groups can unite behind the DumpTrump message. If you care about the wellbeing of women, workers, people in any kind of minority situation, refugees, children, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people or the environment, you have reason to resent the lavish way the UK govt is wecoming him. That's basically everybody who cares about anybody (so that famous Melania fashion choice captured the divide quite well) ...
Protesters were invited to attach stickers with words "lie", "xenophobia" and "censorship" to the poster with federal media's logos.
